Where to live: Named the best city in the world

Hong Kong was named the best city to live in the world. However, experts believe the number one ranking fell to him unfairly.
Лучше города, чем Гонконг, не найти, говорится в новом исследовании Economist Intelligence Unit
Earlier wrote about in which cities are best for Europeans live. However, to choose the best city to live is like to choose the best mother in the Mother's Day - the same opinion can not be just.
Research firm Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has decided to do everything that the city released its ranking as objective as possible. To do this, she resorted to using the firm BuzzData, announcing a competition for the best criteria for selecting the top cities.
As a result, to determine the best places to live were taken into account, among other parameters such as the amount of green space, the environment, proximity to other major cities, cultural value, and others.
As far as the objective has turned a new rating is hard to judge, but the edition of The Economist doubt that Hong Kong deserves the first position in it - especially given the "green" criteria. Yes, the city's many green spaces, but it's only because he is on an uneven surface, impeding the construction of houses in many places. In addition, most visitors do not stay here long because of the intense air pollution. It is known that almost all students in Hong Kong have to carry inhalers for asthmatics, because their little lungs can not cope with the huge number of heavy particles, wind-blown from China.
In general, the top ten hit five European cities, three Asian and one North American and one Australian.
