最适合人类居住城市-09年版
以前移民公司整天宣传：温哥华是人类最适合居住的地方，最近这两年不怎么听到了。原来如此，呵呵：其实哪个说法都是这个叫mercer的机构评选出来的，主要是给政府和公司外派行政人员做参考的。不过呢，拿它来比较一下城市的居住，也是有一定道理的，请看09年的排名吧：温哥华以及加拿大城市还是不错的。

[*]European cities dominate the top of the ranking
[*]Vienna scores highest for overall quality of living, Baghdad the lowest
[*]Singapore ranks top for city infrastructure; London ranks eighth
The quality of living rankings are based on a point-scoring index, which sees Vienna score 108.6, and Baghdad 14.4. Cities are ranked against New York as the base city with an index score of 100.
Mercer’s Quality of Living ranking covers 215 cities and isconducted to help governments and major companies place employees oninternational assignments. In 2008, the quality of living inmany regions has been affected. This is demonstrated by seriouspolitical turmoil, increasing unrest and instability, health andclimatic concerns. The global financial crisis has intensified in 2008,becoming an area of increasing international concern. The effects ofvarious rescue plans being implemented are yet to be known. 没去过温哥华，从老大的论坛的照片上和大家的文章描述中，能感受到温哥华的宁静和美丽。没想到温哥华能排在适合人类居住城市的第四位。首选温哥华，不过在温的朋友们一定努力要保护好排名啊！ 适合所有人的,并不一定适合自己.
故适合自己的,才是最好的.
祝大家都可以找到适合自己的居住地,祝福! 中国没有一个城市上榜，也有那么多回流的 孟买够差的了吧?倒数前十应该有份，ESL班上的印度同学还不是思念的不得了，也想回流。:-P 所以是不是宜居，还是要看自己的实际情况 喜欢这里的气候。 温哥华还是好城市 月是故乡明,水是故乡甜,不可能连根拔起的,毕竟在中国生活了半辈子了 适合自己的就好。『呵呵』 没去过温哥华，从老大的论坛的照片上和大家的文章描述中，能感受到温哥华的宁静和美丽。没想到温哥华能排在适合人类居住城市的第四位。首选温哥华，不过在温的朋友们一定努力要保护好排名啊！ ...

之前几年一直都是排第一，或并列第一的。
他们的评比，也是做个参考而已，对他们服务的对象的整体来说，应该有一定实际意义的。
