This is the best city to live in 2021 according to a new survey

2021 is a strange time. We are living in a sort of fear, and yet harbouring great dreams and aspirations for our lives. In such a condition, the only question that crops up in mind is, where to live? Which city after all is the safest to live in during this time of pandemic? Moreover, where can we find a high standard of living, and how well can we live? The answer to these questions have been answered, at least for 2021.
A new report by the Economist Intelligence Unit finds a city in New Zealand to be the best city to live in right now. New Zealand’s Auckland finds the top spot as the most liveable city in the global ranking. Unfortunately, Vienna, the city in Austria that enjoyed the no. 1 spot in the years 2018 and 2019, finds no mention in top ten cities this year. This happened since the pandemic hit Austria severely. The survey was not conducted in the year 2020.


Osaka in Japan found the second spot this year, and was in fourth place in the 2019 survey. Australia did very well in the latest survey, with Adelaide grabbing the third spot, Perth in sixth position, and Brisbane in the 10th place. Melbourne on the other hand stood eighth alongside Geneva in Switzerland.
The survey looked at five broad categories, stability, culture and environment, education, healthcare, and infrastructure. New Zealand has some of the toughest lockdown rules that enabled the country to reopen, and allow its citizens greater freedom than other countries.
