Predictable choice ... the Austrian city of Vienna has been named the world's most liveable centre / AP
* Vienna ranks world's number-one city
* Aussie cities rate well
* Melbourne and Perth get top marks
AUSTRALIAN cities occupy five of the top 20 places in a British survey ranking the liveability of 140 of the world's major centres.
Melbourne ranked third in the world, behind Vancouver in Canada and the Austrian city of Vienna in the Economist Intelligence Unit's 2009 Liveability survey.
It assessed 140 cities based on stability, health care, education, infrastructure and culture and environment, giving each one a rating out of 100.
Perth was equal fifth with Calgary in Canada, with Sydney sharing ninth place with Zurich in Switzerland, Adelaide in 11th place and Brisbane 16th on the list.
Australian cities represent many of the best aspects of liveability
The Economist Intelligence Unit is a branch of The Economist Group, which publishes The Economist, a weekly news magazine, in London. Helaas kost het hele rapport 250 pond en kan ik Amsterdam niet op de lijst opzoeken...
