Karachi ranked among worst cities of the world to live in
[DAWN] Bloody Karachi...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... has been named among the least liveable cities of the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) -- the research and analysis division of The Economist Group -- in a report released earlier this week. Karachi maintains its 134th rank in the listing of 140 cities, only managing to fare better than Port Moresby, Dhaka, Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... , Lagos and Damascus. The cities have been ranked according to qualitative and quantitative factors falling broadly in the categories of stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. Least liveable cities according to The Global Liveability Report 2017. --The Economist Intelligence Unit Posted by: Fred 2017-08-19 |
