The best cities to live in 2022

Check out the ranking and find out which are the 10 best cities to live in the world in 2022.

Every year, Global Finance Magazine prepares a ranking of the best cities to live in the world. The 2022 list has already been released and finalized based on factors such as: environment, economic strength, research, development, cultural interaction, livability, deaths from Covid-19 and population growth. Unfortunately Brazil was not among the first classified, but some places on the list can be surprising.


Find out which are the 10 best cities to live in 2022:

10 - Amsterdam, Netherlands

Scoring higher than Copenhagen, Berlin and Vienna, Amsterdam has risen from 14th on the 2020 list to 10th. The city has more variety of transport and lower cost of living compared to European competitors.

9 - New York, United States

The only American city in the ranking this year, New York, stands out for its strong economy. Due to the high Covid-19 death rate and high rent cost, the city went from 4th to 9th place in 2022.  

8 - Beijing, China

Moving from 22nd to 8th, Beijing benefited from a low Covid-19 death rate and 2% population growth last year. Despite the problems, the city continues to grow.. 

7-  Paris, France

The death rate from Covid-19 in France was higher than the global average. However, the city scores very well in terms of habitability and culture. 

6 - Sydney, Australia

Environmental security, a moderately strong economy and government Covid-19 lockdowns have helped Sydney take sixth place on the list.

5 - Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne remains fifth in the rankings for being strong in environmentalism. The city has also experienced quite significant population growth in the pandemic. 

4 - Singapore, Republic of Singapore

Singapore scored well on points such as cultural importance, Covid-19 death limit per capita, and economic strength. 

3 - Shanghai, China

Shanghai secures its third spot on the list, not because of its scores in economic strength or environmental security, but rather because of strong population growth and pandemic policy.. 

2 - Tokio, Japan

Developments in the sectors of technology, public transport, population growth and high scores in the fight against Covid-19 have made Tokyo the second best city in the world to live in. 

1 - London, United Kingdom 

With high scores on almost everything but the fight against Covid-19, London won first place for its astonishing population growth, accessibility and culture.
