We have all dreamed of experiencing it at least once in our life. City where the quality of life is optimal. Where safety, health system, environment, cultural life and economic stability are high. In short, almost ideal cities. It often happens, if only for a few moments, to think regarding changing cities, moving elsewhere or complaining regarding the shortcomings of the city in which we live: “ How would I like to live in…” or « It’s better not to live there than here, where nothing works“. Quality of life always comes first in the minds of citizenseconomist which draws up a ranking each year City where you live best Thanks to Global Quality of Life Index 2022.
