Boosted by its perfect scores for stability, health care, education and infrastructure, Vienna led this year’s list, followed closely by its Western European counterparts: Copenhagen, Denmark in second place and Zurich, Switzerland in third.
得益于在稳定性、医疗保健、教育和基础设施上的满分评价的推动，维也纳排在今年的榜单上首位，紧随其后的是西欧的同伴们，丹麦哥本哈根排在第二位，瑞士苏黎世位居第三位。
Vienna’s overall score, although landing highest on the list, took a minor hit in the culture and environment categories, “owing to a lack of major sporting events,” according to the EIU Global Liveability Index for 2024.
尽管维也纳位居榜首，但总分在文化和环境大类上有一些不足。据经济学人智库2024年全球移居指数的报告：“维也纳缺少大型体育盛会。”
“EIU’s Liveability Index has risen fractionally over the past year,” the report said. “Declines in stability and infrastructure across a number of cities in advanced economies were offset by structural improvements in healthcare and education in several cities in developing markets.”
“在过去的一年，经济学人智库的宜居指数有略微的上升。”该报告说：“发展中市场的一些城市在医疗保健和教育上的结构性提高抵消了发达经济体的一些城市的稳定性和基础设施（的评分）在下降。”

Melbourne, Sydney and Vancouver made the top 10 this year, but slipped “amid a significant shortfall in housing availability,” the EIU said. For the same reason, Toronto fell to 12th place this year, after ranking among the top 10 in the previous two years.
经济学人智库说，虽然墨尔本、悉尼和温哥华在今年进入前10名，但“在住房获得方面严重短缺”而出现下滑。同行的原因，多伦多在今年跌至第12位，而之前两年都进入榜单的前10名。
Western Europe was the best-performing region for livability globally, scoring an overall 92 out of 100, however, it has dropped since last year due to an increase in protests and crime which weighed on the stability category, according to the report.
在全球宜居度评比上，西欧是表现最好的地区，总分在92分到100分之间。然而，据该报告的信息显示，西欧地区的宜居度自去年以来已经有了下降，原因是示威抗议和犯罪数量增加了，造成在稳定性上失分。
North America was the second best region, scoring an average of 90.5 out of 100, and ranking highest for education. However, the ongoing housing crisis in Canada has dragged down the region’s infrastructure scores, EIU said.
北美地区是表现第二好的地区，得分在90.5分到100分之间，教育是该地区得分最高的大类。然而，经济学人说，加拿大当前的住房危机拖低了该地区的基础设施得分。

The Japanese cities of Osaka and Tokyo also made the top 10 list for Asia. “As the most populous among the top 20 cities, Tokyo deserves the additional credit of being able to maintain high standards of public service provision and security across an enormous population,” the EIU said.

Indian cities, however, have declined in livability scores, due in part to the country’s poor air quality. “Infrastructure development is also a priority for the government, but given the country’s size and geography, it will take time to improve,” according to the EIU.
然而，印度城市在宜居度得分上出现下降，部分原因是该国糟糕的空气质量。经济学人智库说：“虽然对印度政府来说，基础设施发展是一个优先选项，但是考虑到印度的规模和地理，要提高还需时间等待。”
“Of the 58 Asian cities in the index, 16 have attained the highest level of liveability (score above 80),” said Barsali Bhattacharyya, deputy industry director at EIU.

“However, 11 Asian cities received scores below 60, at which point we define liveability as becoming seriously constrained, as these cities struggle with structural, political and climatic problems that are hard to overcome,” she said.
“然而，11个亚洲城市的得分低于60分，我们认为这是宜居读严重受限的分数，因为这些城市在解决结构性、政治性和气候性问题上面临巨大挑战。”她说。
The stability category recorded the biggest decline out of all five categories this year, held back by geopolitical conflict, civil unrest, as well as the ongoing housing crisis and crime seen across many cities included in the survey, according to the report.
