MELBOURNE has again been rated the world's most liveable city - for the third year in a row.

The Victorian capital edged out Vienna, Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary to claim the top ranking by The Economist Intelligence Unit.

Three other Australian cities were in the top 10 - Adelaide (5), Sydney (7) and Perth (9).

Issues covering stability, healthcare, culture, environment, education and infrastructure were considered in the survey.

Say what so great about Melbourne.

From the same article.....

"Improvements to infrastructure in Australia, where the federal government  initiated an ambitious long-term road-building programme in 2010, prompted rises  in some cities in 2011," the report said.

I love visiting Melbourne.....it is cosmopolitan and the people are so courteous.
