Luxembourg in the top 20 of most liveable cities

The Economist Intelligence Unit has published its latest ranking of the world's most liveable cities. The study is conducted annually and takes into account 30 different factors in five categories: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. The Economist Intelligence Unit's Index shows the challenges faced by people living in 173 cities worldwide.

All cities have a pool of 100 points and a score for each category. The scores range from "acceptable" to "intolerable". And Luxembourg comes 19th in this year's ranking. That is impressive.
