Osaka is the ninth most livable city in the world, and the only city in Asia to crack the top 10, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit’s 2024 Liveability Index, while Tokyo placed 14th.
In its annual index, the EIU scores cities on the basis of education, stability, health care, culture, and the environment and infrastructure.
Vienna held onto the top spot for the third year in a row, receiving perfect scores across every category except culture and environment, due to a lack of major sporting events.
