(CNN) —I'm thinking of a big move this year. Think about Canada and Western Europe.
The presence of the Red Cross and the European Union puts Geneva at the top of the list It was useful.

Big Winner
Switzerland is the only European country with two entries in the top ten, with Geneva in sixth and Zurich in third.
But the national winner was Canada. There were three cities in Great White North: Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto.
"Cities that were in the top of the rankings before the pandemic have recovered against the backdrop of stability, good infrastructure and services, and fun leisure activities," the index said. The author states. I have written.
Big Dropper
Last year's winner Auckland, New Zealand, was out of the top 10 in 2022. I did. Unexpectedly in 34th place.
This year, the rankings of neighboring Australia fell the most significantly. Despite being at the top of the list in the past, Melbourne fell to 10th place in 2022.
Osaka was the only Asian city in the top 10 this year.

New Zealand's capital, Wellington, was fourth in 2021 but dropped out of the top ten this year as well.
Europe was very strong in 2022, but two notable entries in London and Paris are missing. The increase in living costs played a role in both big cities, as did Britain's decision to leave the European Union.
The ongoing global conflict was one factor in determining the countries ranked at the bottom of the list. Damascus, Lagos and Tripoli were rated as the three most difficult cities in the world to live in.
Meanwhile, Kyiv was not analyzed this year due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Living and Living Expenses
Hong Kong had the suspicious honor that New York City, Geneva, London and Tokyo would finish the top five and take first place.
Geneva was the only city to appear in both the ECA and EIU indexes.
The ranking of the most expensive cities is determined solely by economic factors (average rent, gas prices, etc.), as opposed to the EIU list, which examines the culture of the city. rice field. Attractions such as museums and concerts, and infrastructure such as mass transportation.
The Viennese art and cultural scene helps to earn high honor. I did.
