These are the 10 most liveable cities in the world, according to monocle.com.
Stockholm: top notch education and welfare, but needs more integration for immigrants to increase diversity.
Auckland: hosted the rugby world cup did wonders, motivating it to create two new entertainment precincts and public transport greatly improved.
Sydney: Innovative mixed use districts incorporating cycle paths, verticle gardens are one way the Australian waterside giant is becoming more sophisticated.
The central park complex is a triumph in green architecture that can serve as an example for the rest of the world. Tokyo: hidden under the facade of a neon-lit megacity is a small town spirit featuring world class shopping and business opportunities.
Melbourne: Australia's cultural hub is getting even better with a big push to ease traffic congestion.
Munich: Unemployment is low, but failure to act on a few key projects has hurt Munich's standing.
Its airport needs a third runway to compete with the other global cities on this list. Vienna: continues to evolve from a beautiful relic to a modernized classic.
Affordable housing and an imminent brand new campus for the Vienna University's school for economics and business will inject youth into the city. Copenhagen: the danes are the happiest people on earth because of places like this, with near-perfect integration between city life and the outdoors.
The city aims to be carbon neutral by 2025. Helsinki, Finland: crowned world design capital 2012, it is unveiling a new metro line and converting its harbors into attractive residential areas.
Helsinki is a city where good ideas can quickly come to life. Zurich: with 50 impressive museums, concert halls and theatres for a smaller city and a strict corporate culture, this clean, beautiful city is one larger cities should learn from.
In the end the cities that make the cut are not just OK, but places that are benchmarks for urban renaissance and rigorous reinvention in everything from environmental policy to transport.
