Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial nerve centre, is the third worst city to live in the world, a new report carried out by The Economist Intelligence Unit has revealed. According to the report on Liveability, which assesses locations around the world that provide the best or the worst living conditions, Lagos placed 138th out of the 140 cities surveyed. Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is the overall worst city while Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea came second in the chart of the worst cities to live in the world.

Abidjan in Côte d’Ivoire placed 131st; Tehran, Iran came 132; Douala, Cameroon is the 133rd; Tripoli, Libya placed 134th; Karachi, Pakistan came 135th; Algiers, Algeria is 136th while Harare in Zimbabwe placed 137th in the category of the worst cities in the world.

Ironically, Africa was given prime place in the category of worst cities to live as six out of 10 worst cities are on the continent. According to the survey, Melbourne, Australia tops the list of the best cities to live in, while Vienna, Austria, is the second best city.

Three Canadian cities Vancouver, Toronto, and Calgary – are third, fourth and fifth best cities to live in. Again, Adelaide and Sydney, both Australian cities placed sixth and seventh liveable places in the world.

Helsinki, Finland is eighth; Perth, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand are the ninth and 10th best places to live.

No African cities feature among the best 10 cities to live in the world. Every city in the survey is assigned a rating of relative comfort for over 30 qualitative and quantitative factors across five broad categories: stability; healthcare; culture and environment; education; and infrastructure.

Each factor in a city is rated as acceptable, tolerable, uncomfortable, undesirable or intolerable. In terms of stability, Lagos scores 25 per cent; 33.3 per cent in healthcare, 52.3 per cent in culture and environment and 48.2 per cent in infrastructure.

In the survey, Lagos has overall rating of 39.0 per cent. The ideal is 100.
