Tokyo is the number one city to call home according to Monocle magazine’s 2015 Quality of Life Survey, which has been published in association with AkzoNobel.
Rising from second place in 2014, Tokyo claimed the coveted top spot due to its defining paradox of heart-stopping size and concurrent feeling of peace and quiet. A refined marking system resulted in some key changes in this year’s ranking of the top 25 most liveable cities, with Vienna claiming second spot and Berlin rising an impressive 11 places to take bronze. Melbourne and Sydney complete the top five, in fourth and fifth respectively.
"We’ve added 22 new metrics, including several that look at housing and the cost of living, from the price of a three-bed house to the cost of a coffee, glass of wine and decent lunch,” explained Monocle, Editor-in-Chief Tyler Brûlé. "We’ve also put more emphasis on access to the outdoors.”
