Melbourne ~ World's most liveble city ...again!

For the fourth time in a row, my city (Melbourne) has been named the world's most liveable city. Melbourne outperformed 139 cities to top the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Liveability Survey and achieved a perfect score in healthcare, education, sport and infrastructure. That's something to be proud of.

The scores are calculated by assigning every city a rating across categories including stability, healthcare, education, infrastructure and culture and environment.

Our Lord Mayor Robert Doyle said he was proud that Melbourne had received the top honour. “To be named the world’s most liveable city for four consecutive years is a great honour and a testament to the enviable lifestyle that Melbourne’s offers,”

I have selected a few photos of Melbourne showing different aspects of the city.

Today's quote: To misquote Dr Johnson, if you're tired of Melbourne, you're tired of life.

    So lovely to find a comment from you on my Mornington Peninsula Daily blog. Thank you.
    Though I am not Melbourne born,(Sydneyite) I must admit that Melbourne seems the closest I get to enjoying wandering a city. It's always fascinating. That says a lot for someone who is not city orientated.
