One interesting note from the EIU, citing the sites The Economist is the threat of terrorism around the world affecting the ranking for this year, then Melbourne's relatively low crime rate is the main reason for beating other cities, even though the number of robberies and burglaries in Melbourne has increased in 12 months Last.

Regardless of the appreciation gained by Melbourne, the general problem of a city is also overwhelming the city, say, among other things, such as rising property prices that have an impact on people who want to own a house, including the price of renting a house, the transportation of the city had problems because of computer problems.

But. They, townspeople and municipalities believe in their lives, street art and graffiti, urban heritage, and culinary riches, of course, health care systems, economic growth, and employment growth rates.

The townspeople seem to love their city's predicate, as featured on the sites Australia Plus, such as Emma Walker, Executive Assistant, who reminds of the rich history and cultural relationships, suburban multicultural settlements, a fine opportunity at a dusk waiting for the sparkling lights of the nightlife.

"I was cycling through the Victoria Docklands area where sometimes I see Chinese traditional boats and ferry boats crossing and along the Yarra River," she said.
