Pollited and small, without green and in a strong crisis of identity. I am living half year in Berlin : very high quality of life, green, rivers, lakes, culture and metropolitan mood !

Would it be possible to get a copy of the report from you? As a college student I simply can not afford $250 for a report. I really hope you can help. Thank you so much!

The ACTUAL list (http://tinyurl.com/musoz8) is: 1. Vancouver 98% 2. Vienna 97.9% 3. Melbourne 97.5% 4. Toronto 97.2% 5. Perth 96.6% Calgary 96.6 7. Helsinski 96.2% 8. Geneva 96.1% Sydney 96.1% Zurich 96.1% Maybe next time if you pay for the report they won't dupe you? :) Given the list of the top 10 cities you post as coming form the “full report,” I suspect you haven’t seen either the long or the short public report.

I'm currently conducting some research on the methodology of city rankings indexes. The Economist/Mercer indexes interest me the most and I would be grateful if you got in contact to let me know your thoughts on the methodologies. I'm unsure about the Economist Liveability rankings myself. This is an interesting blog which appears to be even more important with the proliferation of rankings.
