Report: Calgary world's best city
And Toronto 18th in global cities
By SUN MEDIA STAFF
CANADIAN CITIES rank among the best in the world for clean, healthy lifestyles, according to an international survey released in London today. Calgary is the world's best city, according to the worldwide assessment conducted by Mercer Human Resource Consulting.
The Alberta city scored 121 points, rating just above Honolulu, which scored 120 points. Helsinki and Ottawa followed at 119.5 and 118.5 respectively.
All of the Canadian cities surveyed appear in the top 20 rankings, including Montreal and Vancouver both ranked ninth with a score of 116. Toronto was 18th at 115.
The scores are based on the quality and availability of hospital and medical supplies, levels of air pollution, infectious disease, the efficiency of waste removal and sewage systems, water potability and exposure to harmful animals and insects.
"The top cities ... have a combination of excellent hospital services and medical supplies and low levels of air pollution and infectious disease," Slagin Parakatil, Mercer's senior researcher, said.
"Most of the low-scoring cities are in developing countries which have insufficient resources and infrastructure for good sanitation."
In the U.S., other top-scoring cities behind Honolulu included Minneapolis (5th at 117) and Boston, Lexington, Pittsburgh, and Portland (9th at 116). The lowest scoring city in North America was Atlanta, ranked 76 with a score of 95.
Western Europe also fared well with Oslo, Stockholm, Zurich, Bern and Geneva, and Nurnberg all ranking in the top 20.
At the other extreme, Athens was the lowest scoring city in Western Europe, ranking 120th with a score of 73 because of its high level of pollution. Milan, Rome and Lisbon also scored low at 99 for 69th place. London was 59th at 106.
Most Eastern European cities scored less than 100 in the ratings, mainly due to a shortage of hospitals and medical supplies.

Health and sanitation rankings
Calgary ranks as the world’s top city for health and sanitation, according to the survey. The Canadian city scores 121 and rates just above Honolulu, which takes second place with a score of 120. Helsinki and Ottawa follow closely in the rankings with scores of 119.5 and 118.5, respectively.
Scores are based on the quality and availability of hospital and medical supplies and levels of air pollution and infectious disease. The efficiency of waste removal and sewage systems, water potability and harmful animals and insects are also taken into account.
“The top cities for health and sanitation have a combination of excellent hospital services and medical supplies and low levels of air pollution and infectious disease,” said Slagin Parakatil, Senior Researcher at Mercer. “Most of the low-scoring cities are in developing countries which have insufficient resources and infrastructure for good sanitation.”
The lowest ranking city for health supplies and sanitation is Baku in Azerbaijan, which scores just 25.5. Hospitals and medical services are in short supply and the infrastructure for waste removal is poor. Other low-ranking cities include Antananarivo in Madagascar, Dhaka in Bangladesh and Brazzaville in Congo, which score 26, 29 and 32 respectively.

A, Koльо,
Тук доходите не играят роля изобщо за класацията, така че сивата икономика няма нищо общо. Виж критериите:
Our survey methodology
The survey measures the comparative cost of over 200 items in each location. These include housing, food, clothing and household goods, together with transportation and entertainment. The data is used to assist multinational companies in determining compensation allowances for their expatriate workers.
А пък що се отнася до това, че някои имат собствени жилища... много добре за тях... и тука доста канадци наследяват къщи...
За съжаление някои от нас не сме нито в едната, нито в другата група, така че ще трябва да разчитаме на статистиките.

Mercer's cost-of-living indices are designed for today's multinational companies who transfer employees to and from a multitude of countries. Our unique international basket of goods and services is the result of extensive research of actual expatriate spending habits, allowing our indices to reflect a reality-based international expenditure pattern.
Our indices are composed of the following categories and are weighted according to our research results:
Alcohol and tobacco
Clothing and footwear
Domestic services
Food at home
Food away from home
Health and personal care
Household supplies
Sports and leisure
Transportation
Utilities
