Poll: Do you think Auckland is the world's most liveable city?
Hi Auckland,
Auckland has topped the global rankings of liveability, rising 11 places to take the top spot.
The survey, commissioned by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), gives mathematical weight to such a claim. New Zealand's world-leading response to the spread of Covid-19 has been cited as one of the leading factors in the significant jump in rankings.
The EIU's index rates the living conditions and comprises 30 factors grouped into five categories: stability, health care, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.
