Here is another ranking by Mercer
http://www.mercer.com/qualityoflivingpr

My comments (revised):
Each survey uses its own criteria, as explained in the report.

The top 5 cities are:

1 Vienna
2. Zurich
3. Geneva
4. Vancouver
4. Auckland

Singapore ranked 28 but is highest in Asia.

    We should not take the results too seriously. It has to do a lot with our personal background to determine which city has the quality of life. If we work in the city as a MD, which will be very different from a junior manager, for example.

    However, it is interesting to see how Spore is compared to other country in certain area. As we often hear the government trumpet eco-friendly society but in fact spends 'very little' in promoting it. Without these results, it is hard to tell where we are after bombardment by the lip service. It often need to read from outside source about our achievement.

    Mr Tan,
    As in your list, Vienna is not in Switzerland.

    Is this ranking on quality of life for expats or for locals?
