These Are Most Liveable Cities In Asia-Pacific. How Do Indian Cities Rank?

The index rates living conditions in 173 cities across five categories: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure.
As a global city, Singapore is no stranger to being on “best” lists. Recent accolades it has picked up include the country with the “best business environment” (EIU), “freest economy in the world” (The Heritage Foundation), fourth most competitive economy in the world (International Institute for Management Development), and eighth place in Schroders's global city index.
Therefore, it was with little surprise that it did not make it into the top ten cities in the latest Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) ranking of the most liveable cities in the world. The Southeast Asian city did however sneak into the top among Asia-Pacific cities in tenth place.
This year's EIU liveability index, which provides a snapshot of the most, and least, desirable cities to live in, recorded the highest global average score in 15 years, showing that living conditions in cities across the world have fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic which disrupted lives and impacted lifestyles.
