The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has released its rankings on the liveability of global cities for 2015.

The index brings together five different elements to decide how liveable each place is. Here's how they're weighted:

  • Stability: 25% - this includes things like the threat of crime and terrorism.
  • Healthcare: 20% - the availability of both public and private care is considered.
  • Culture and environment: 20% - factors as divergent as climate, corruption and sports are considered in this category.
  • Education: 10% - again, public and private indicators are considered.
  • Infrastructure: 25% - housing, roads, energy and other basic utilities are considered here.

22 cities in Europe are found in the top 50 globally, and there's been quite a bit of movement for several cities since the index was last published in 2014. Take a look at the rankings now.
