In 2015, it was ranked No. 3 under the same category.
Dubai’s ranking as the second most-improved city in Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Liveability Ranking in 2016 saw its rise in the rankings over the last five years.
The report, published late on Thursday, came from an assessment of the best and worst living conditions across the world, an annual survey conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit called “Global Liveability Report”.
Dubai followed Tehran — and was ahead of Harare in Zimbabwe — as the city with the most-improved liveability.
Melbourne kept the top spot as the world’s “most liveable city”, followed by Vienna and Vancouver and Toronto.
Jon Copestake, the report’s editor, said: “Dubai and other Emirates have been seen as something of a safe haven for businesses and expatriates given the wider disruption in the Middle East, especially with oil prices affecting economies of other Gulf States like Saudi Arabia.”
Some 140 cities were rated based on comfort for over 30 qualitative and quantitative factors – each rated as acceptable, tolerable, uncomfortable, undesirable or intolerable.

The report noted certain cities — Zurich, Geneva, Frankfurt, Berlin, Oslo, Luxembourg, Brussels, Paris, Rome and Lisbon —seeing declines in liveability, “mostly stemming from heightened fears of terrorism in the wake of attacks in Paris and Brussels.”
These are the Top 12 cities to live, in terms of quality of life:
1. Vienna
2. Zurich
3. Auckland
4. Munich
5. Vancouver
