"Needed where was born". This saying has long lost its relevance. Migration of the population, both within one country and abroad, has become the most common thing. People all over the world are moving from place to place in search of a profitable job, opportunities for study, career, or just to live in comfortable and safe conditions, to have a varied and full-fledged leisure. Which cities are considered the most suitable for permanent or at least long-term residence?

Many media annually hold a competition for the title of “the most convenient city for living” with the involvement of an expert jury that assesses a number of factors: geographical location, climate, ecology, crime level, state of the transport network, availability of recreation areas, parks, opportunities for work and leisure, cost of living in the city, etc. For example, for several years in a row, the well-known British magazine Economist has put the Canadian city of Vancouver, located on the Pacific coast, in first place. Despite the fact that Vancouver has cold winters, other advantages of this city (beautiful nature, high level of comfort, a well-developed transport network, various leisure opportunities, etc.) more than cover this disadvantage.

The top ten most liveable cities include three Australian cities at once: Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney. Moreover, Melbourne firmly holds an honorable second place in the list. Beautiful architecture, which mixed several styles, convenient layout, many beautiful parks, the ability to engage in a variety of sports, including rowing and sailing (thanks to the presence of bays and canals) - this is not a complete list of the advantages of this city.

The capital of Austria, Vienna, closes the “prize troika”. It is once the main city of the powerful Austro-Hungarian Empire. Situated on the banks of the deep Danube, Vienna is so beautiful that it was rightfully awarded with enthusiastic epithets: "Magnificent Vienna", "Brilliant Vienna." The historical center of the city, lying inside the Ringstrasse ring street, is full of the most beautiful monuments of the imperial era, which many tourists come to see from all over the Earth. Vienna is famous for its parks, music, balls. Many great artists lived and worked here.

Among the most suitable cities for life are also Copenhagen, Geneva, Zurich. As for Moscow and St. Petersburg, they, according to experts, are not even in the first hundred cities in the world that are most suitable for a comfortable and safe life. But if we are talking about Russian citizens who want to have a career, get a well-paid job or get a good education within their own country, Moscow is the best city for this. However, this city cannot boast of excellent ecology.
