Dhaka 2nd worst city for living
Star Online Report
Dhaka has been identified as the second worst city to live for the second consecutive time, according to a survey of Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) affiliated with the UK-based weekly Economist.
Zimbabwe's capital Harare scored the least, making it the worst city to live for the second consecutive year.
The listing was based on 30 factors across five broad categories: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.
The result of the survey titled “The Liveabililty Ranking and Overview, February 2011” was released on Monday.
Canadian city of Vancouver scored 98 points out of 100 to secure the top position as most liveable city in the world.
Melbourne has been voted as second most liveable city.
The survey factor were rated as accepted, tolerable, uncomfortable, undesirable or intolerable in a system that "allows for direct comparison between locations," according to the report.

Kind of expected, especially with the lack of clean water, no road infrastructure, constant traffic jams and power issues.....
They really need to decentralize and reduce the burden on Dhaka...
BTW for those of us in Canada, we got 3 out of the top 5 (Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary).
