14 Aug Melbourne World’s Most Livable City
It’s been a slow blogging week, so I think I can get away with a completely self-serving post about the awesomeness of Melbourne. And yes, Melbourne is awesome. The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Livability Survey says so — again:
1. Melbourne
2. Vienna
3. Vancouver
4. Toronto
5. Calgary
5. Adelaide
7. Sydney
8. Helsinki
9. Perth
10. Auckland
The survey assesses 140 cities on factors in five categories: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. Melbourne received a perfect score on infrastructure, healthcare and education.
Perhaps this is a good time to mention that my law school is currently advertising two entry-level positions, though at least one of the people we hire will need to teach business law. Applications close in a week — August 22nd.
It is interesting that 4 of the 10 cities are in Australia and 3 in Canada. None are in the US.
