Colombo has been selected among the five biggest improved cities during the
last five years in terms of livability by the Global Livability Report 2017.
Out of 140 cities, Colombo is ranked at 124th with an overall rating of 51 out
of 100 points. The Economist Intelligence Unit says that Colombo has showed
relative improvement during this period, especially after the end of a
separatist war.
According to the report by The
Economist Intelligence Unit (The EIU is the research and analysis division of
The Economist Group,) Colombo has showed relative improvement during this
period, especially after the end of a separatist war. Nevertheless, out of 140
cities, Colombo is ranked at 124th with an overall rating of 51 out of 100
points. The report says that cities moving up the ranking are located largely
in countries that have enjoyed periods of relative stability after previously reported
falls in liveability. These include Kiev in Ukraine, Tripoli in Libya and
Colombo in Sri Lanka.
Another Canadian city, Calgary,
shares joint fifth place with Adelaide in Australia. Although the top five
cities remain unchanged, the report highlights that the past few years have
seen increasing instability across the world, causing volatility in the scores
of many cities.
