Lagos, world’s 3rd worst city to live...............mirror.

Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial nerve center, is the third worst city to live in the world, a new report carried out by The Economist Intelligence Unit has revealed. According to the report on Liveability, which assesses locations around the world that provide the best or the worst living conditions, Lagos placed 138th out of the 140 cities surveyed.

Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is the overall worst city while Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea came second in the chart of the worst cities to live in the world.

Abidjan in Côte d’Ivoire placed 131st; Tehran, Iran came 132; Douala, Cameroon is the 133rd; Tripoli, Libya placed 134th; Karachi, Pakistan came 135th; Algiers, Algeria is 136th while Harare in Zimbabwe placed 137th in the category of the worst cities in the world.

Ironically, Africa was given prime place in the category of worst cities to live as six out of 10 worst cities are on the continent. According to the survey, Melbourne, Australia tops the list of the best cities to live in, while Vienna, Austria, is the second best city.

Three Canadian cities Vancouver, Toronto, and Calgary – are third, fourth and fifth best cities to live in. Again, Adelaide and Sydney, both Australian cities placed sixth and seventh liveable places in the world.

Helsinki, Finland is eighth; Perth, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand are the ninth and 10th best places to live.

No African cities feature among the best 10 cities to live in the world. Every city in the survey is assigned a rating of relative comfort for over 30 qualitative and quantitative factors across five broad categories: stability; healthcare; culture and environment; education; and infrastructure.

Each factor in a city is rated as acceptable, tolerable, uncomfortable, undesirable or intolerable. In terms of stability, Lagos scores 25 per cent; 33.3 per cent in healthcare, 52.3 per cent in culture and environment and 48.2 per cent in infrastructure.

In the survey, Lagos has overall rating of 39.0 per cent. The ideal is 100.

In the healthcare category, availability of private healthcare, quality of private healthcare, availability of public healthcare, quality of public healthcare and availability of over-the counter drugs were used as the criteria.

In culture and environment category, the following: humidity/temperature rating, discomfort of climate to travelers, level of corruption, social or religious restrictions, level of censorship, sporting availability, cultural availability, food and drink, consumer goods and services are used as the indices.

In the survey, availability of private education, quality of private education and public education are used in the education category.

In infrastructure where Lagos was scored 48.2 rating, indices such as quality of road network, quality of public transport, quality of international links, availability of good quality housing, quality of energy provision, quality of water provision, and quality of telecommunications were used.

“Conflict is responsible for many of the lowest scores. This is not only because stability indicators have the highest single scores, but also because factors defining stability spread to have an adverse effect on other categories. For example, the threat of armed conflict will not just cause disruption in its own right, it will also damage infrastructure, overburden hospitals, and undermine the availability of goods, services and recreational activities. Africa (North and Sub-Saharan) and Asia account for all 13 cities, with violence, whether through crime, civil insurgency, terrorism or war, playing a strong role,” the report stated.......

DO YOU AGREE?

Common worst city? We couldn't even take first?

Lagos is a dirty city. It annoys me when people compare any city in west and east Africa with Europe, US, UK, Aussies or even Asia. A village in Eastern Germany is more liveable than Lagos. Even in Nigeria here, in terms of liveable cities, i will rate Enugu ahead of Lagos any day. Lagos is just one massive over-rated European car dustbin.

I think some years back Lagos did a little bit better. That means that Fashola has not been paying attention to the most important variables.

A similar report was carried out by the same group in 2010 and Lagos did fairly better https://www.nairaland.com/397594/lagos-rated-fifth-worst-city
