In a recent global survey called the Ipsos Top Cities Index, Vancouver came third in a tie with Abu Dhabi as the most liveable city.

Our beautiful port city placed just shy of the top, with Zurich coming out in first place followed by Sydney.

“Interestingly, while Vancouver ranked higher among Baby Boomers and Gen Xers, and Toronto among Millennials as the best place to live, both Canadian cities made it to the top ten most livable cities across all generations globally,” stated a report released by New York-based market research company, Ipsos.

Notably, it seems that while both Vancouver and Toronto are extremely liveable cities, neither one is ironically recognized as a hotspot for tourism or business.

“Consequently, while Vancouver and Toronto are clearly competitive with other major cities around the world in terms of livability, some work likely still needs to be done to promote both cities as tourism and business destinations,” concluded the Ipsos report.

Rounding out the rest of the top 10 list were London, Amsterdam, Toronto, Stockholm, Oslo, New York, and Paris of the most liveable cities.
