The world's most livable city for 2026 has been revealed

From: CNN

The world seems to be changing at lightning speed, so it's perhaps good to know that some things remain the same — at least when it comes to the most livable city.

Copenhagen has taken the No. 1 spot on the annual list from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) for the second year running.

The Danish capital beat out Austria's Vienna, which previously had a three-year run at the top, for the second year in a row on the annual list, released on Tuesday.

The EIU, a sister organization to The Economist magazine, ranked 173 cities around the world on a number of different factors, including education, stability, healthcare, infrastructure and culture.

Copenhagen received “perfect” scores in three categories, including stability, infrastructure and education.

For American audiences looking down the index, New York rose three places to 66th, thanks to a significant improvement in its scores in the stability category, a result of falling crime rates and perceived lower risks of terrorist attacks.

While the Big Apple is climbing, Honolulu remains the highest-ranked US city overall, despite falling two places to 25th position.

Vancouver, at No. 9, was the only North American city to crack the global top 10.

Copenhagen's persistent success at the top was down to a “winning combination of excellent scores in stability and infrastructure, great culture and environment and high quality of public services,” said a spokesperson from the Economist Intelligence Unit.

In third place was Australia's Melbourne, rising one spot since the previous year. Another Australian city, Sydney, jumped from sixth to fourth place.

The Swiss city of Zurich, which tied with Vienna in second place last year, dropped three spots, with fellow Swiss city Geneva just behind at number six. Osaka, in Japan, retained seventh place, while Australia's Adelaide came in at eighth. Tokyo was 10th.

Although Western Europe ranked as the strongest region for livability, its average score of 91.7 was slightly lower than in 2025, while Asia's rose by 0.3 to 73.9, largely thanks to stronger healthcare scores, particularly in Chinese cities such as Fuzhou, located in the southeast of the country, which climbed seven places to 93rd.

“We upgraded healthcare scores across the board for Chinese cities, reflecting the national improvements to funding schemes and investment,” added a spokesperson from the Economist Intelligence Unit, pointing to a new long-term care insurance system in the country as well as the improvement of healthcare provision.

the Big Apple /ˌbɪɡ ˈæp.əl/ 表示“纽约市”，英文解释为“New York City”举个🌰：She's planning a trip to the Big Apple. 她正计划去纽约旅行。

“Big Apple”（大苹果）是纽约市最著名、全球通用的昵称。这个名字的由来有几个阶段，虽然流传着各种传说，但最被广泛接受的历史渊源是这样的：

1. 起源于爵士乐圈（20世纪20-30年代）：当时美国南方的非裔音乐家纷纷北上到纽约市演出，因为纽约的演艺市场机会最多、报酬最高。他们在爵士乐手圈子里流行一句话：“There are many apples on the tree, but only one Big Apple.”（树上有许多苹果，但只有一个是“大苹果”。）意思是，全美各地（“树上的苹果”）都有演出机会，但唯独纽约（“大苹果”）是最大、最好、最值得去的那一个。

2. 由体育专栏作家推广（20世纪70年代）：虽然这个名字在爵士圈用了很久，但真正让它红遍全球的，是纽约市旅游局在1971年发起的一场城市营销活动。他们请来了著名的体育专栏作家，这位作家在报道纽约赛马和体育新闻时频繁使用“Big Apple”来指代纽约，说这里是“赛马的终极目标”。旅游局顺势将其作为官方昵称大力推广，并设计了经典的苹果标志。

Vancouver, at No. 9, was the only North American city to crack the global top 10.

Copenhagen's persistent success at the top was down to a “winning combination of excellent scores in stability and infrastructure, great culture and environment and high quality of public services,” said a spokesperson from the Economist Intelligence Unit.

经济学人智库的一位发言人表示，哥本哈根之所以能长期稳坐头把交椅，是因为它“在稳定性、基础设施、文化与环境以及公共服务质量等方面均取得了卓越得分，这些优势完美融合，构成了其制胜的法宝”。
