The Economist's ranking of the world's most liveable cities: Copenhagen remains in first place, Italy out of the top 10

The Global Liveability Index 2026, compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit, ranks cities based on factors such as stability, healthcare, education, infrastructure, and environment. The index evaluates how easy it is to live in a city on a daily basis rather than focusing on tourism appeal or scenic beauty. According to this report, Copenhagen remains at the top of the rankings, while Italy does not appear in the top 10. Major Italian cities like Rome and Milan are absent from the upper echelons of the list, highlighting a gap between Italy’s cultural prominence and its urban living conditions compared to other global cities.
