In a nice bragging rights boost for those who call our nation’s capital home, Canberra has been named the second-best city in the world to live if you’re looking for quality of life. The Oxford Economics 2024 Global Cities Index ranked the top 1,000 cities around the world in various categories and placed Canberra behind only Grenoble in France for quality of life – making it the only non-European city in that category’s top 10. The report noted the “impressive feat” was down to Canberra’s high incomes/low degree of income inequality, healthcare facilities and high life expectancy. Kudos also to Melburnians – Victoria’s capital came in at number 9 on the overall city ranking thanks to its educational and economic opportunities. It narrowly beat Sydney, which came in at 16 on the overall ranking – so the rivalry will live to see another year…
