介绍:
Melbourne is on top of the world again.
The Australian city has topped the Economist Intelligence Unit’s ranking of the most livable cities in the world for the seventh year — the first time a city has held the No. 1 rank for seven years.
The annual survey assesses 140 cities and ranks them according to their stability, health care, culture, environment, education and infrastructure.
What makes a city friendly? What sets it above another? Here are some reasons for Melbourne to be the best place in the world to live in.
Street art surrounds you. Melbourne’s streets are filled with graffiti art.
Vinyl capital of the world. While the rest of the world goes digital, there are still about 50 vinyl record stores around Melbourne.
Bike paths that stretch to Canberra. The bike is king in Melbourne. You could cycle to Canberra if you are Cadel Evans, who is the first Australian professional cyclist to win the Tour de France. There are 670 kilometers of bike paths around the city, which would get you to Canberra with 10 kilometers to spare.
Culture is really important. A festival director said, “One thing that distinguishes Melbourne from other cities is the average woman and man on the street will say that arts and culture are a critical part of the town.”
