Globally, Vienna and Melbourne were the best cities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Contributing to these locations\u2019 excellence are their vibrant economies, mature industries, all-encompassing transport systems, and excellent education and health care.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOverall, our index remains dominated by medium-sized cities in wealthy countries,\u201d the report explained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe upsides of these cities tend to be fully realized. You get a good collection of cultural activities, you get good access to healthcare and education,\u201d EIU Asia regional director Duncan Innes-Ker told Bloomberg. \u201cBut you don\u2019t get a lot of downsides that tend to come with big cities, things like traffic congestion, crime problems and general wear and tear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The findings mirrored those of a RE\/MAX survey conducted by Leger earlier this year, which found the three Canadian cities to be especially attractive destinations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In particular, Calgary earned exceptional marks in nearly two-thirds of the RE\/MAX liveability benchmarks, most importantly in terms of population growth, housing supply, and access to retail outlets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vancouver\u2019s robust public transit options, including the Skytrain and bus system, also made it a strong favourite. The city ranked high in RE\/MAX measures of walkability, especially in Yaletown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, Toronto ranked medium in terms of access to green spaces\/parks, and high in population growth, retail store availability, and healthcare access.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is despite a prevailing climate of elevated housing prices in the Canadian cities. Indeed, Vancouver has recently seen an upward trend in rental demand spurred by unaffordability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhile price and value are always top of mind for buyers, there are some aspects about a home that you can\u2019t change,\u201d RE\/MAX of Ontario-Atlantic Canada executive VP Christopher Alexander stated at the time. \u201cThese liveability factors are what make your home more than just the place you live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadianrealestatemagazine.ca\/market-report\/ab\/looking-to-move-these-are-the-best-cities-in-canada-to-live-in-303831.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Looking to Move?
