Meet the cities with the highest quality of life

Well-established European cities dominated the list, mostly thanks to low levels of income inequality which is intrinsically linked to other metrics including crime, education, health and affordability.The "people" sub-index set out to find the city with the highest quality of life by rating eight metrics:

• Health (life expectancy and obesity)
• Education (literacy and universities)
• Income inequality
• Work-life balance
• Crime
• Green space within cities
• Housing and living costs
• Dependency ratio
