Dhaka has ranked as the seventh least liveable city, same as last year, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit's Global Liveability Index 2023.
According to the latest report published on Wednesday, the mega city scored 43.8 out of 100, ranking 167th out of 173 cities on the index. Last year, the score was 39.2 and the capital ranked 166th among 172.
Zimbabwe's Harare also occupied the same spot as Dhaka.

The EIU ranks cities on more than 30 qualitative and quantitative factors across five broad categories: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.
EIU's Liveability Index has risen significantly in the 2023 survey, reaching a 15-year high as the world moves on from the Covid-19 pandemic and healthcare and education scores improve in many cities in Asia and the Middle East and Africa.
The global average liveability score across all 172 cities (excluding Kyiv) in the survey has now reached 76.2 out of 100, up from 73.2 a year ago.
However, scores for stability have slipped backwards since last year, amid several instances of civil unrest around the world.
Austria's Vienna retains its position as the world's most liveable city in the 2023 survey.

Copenhagen (Denmark) takes second place, while a shift towards normality after the pandemic has helped the Australian cities of Melbourne and Sydney to bounce back up the rankings to third and fourth place, following a sharp tumble in 2022.
Three cities in Canada, two in Switzerland, and two in Asia (a New Zealand and a Japanese city are joint tenth) make up the rest of the top ten positions.
Asia-Pacific cities have made some of the biggest gains, accounting for eight of top ten movers up the rankings as economies recover from the pandemic.

Wellington (New Zealand) has soared by 35 places to 23rd place, Auckland (New Zealand) by 25, while Hanoi (Vietnam) has moved up 20 spots, as their covid restrictions were lifted.
Damascus (Syria) and Tripoli (Libya) are still at the bottom of the list, held back by social unrest, terrorism and conflict. However, while Damascus has seen no improvement since last year, scores for Tripoli and other cities in the bottom ten have improved as the pandemic has receded.
Meanwhile, Kyiv is back in the survey, having been forced out by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. However, the city ranks a lowly 165th out of the 173 cities, with its stability and infrastructure damaged by the war.

Karachi is a mythical city. While Lagos, Dhaka, Tripoli and Damascus have a blueprint, Karachi is wild and free.

Outside of Karachi can we get stats for other Pakistani cities?

Indian cities were all in bottom quintile last year (2022) in EIU report, which the OP conveniently forgot.

Bhakt Indians are fond of deriding Bangladesh and Pakistan for reasons known only to them, probably just to feel better about their own effed up infra in their cities. And OP is supposedly "positive"! If this is positive tariqah then what about the "negative" ones in India? Lajawab!

Dhaka's low ranking is understandable because it is going through half a dozen megaprojects in the city itself (six lines of Metro, North South Skyway, Train logistics connector megaplex, elevated railway links, three/four six lane freeway connectors, even bypass connectors, one is a fourteen lane freeway - all causing massive traffic jams affecting livability standards). There is construction everywhere. Please look in the thread where I post the progress for these projects.

Plus Dhaka houses all sorts of factories which means dozens of slums which are in the process of being moved outside the city. I'd still say Dhaka fairs way better than Indian cities, most of which look like garbage, except some in the South.

I mean - we Bangladeshis do realize Dhaka is a dump, but bhakts won't even admit what dumps Indian cities are infra-wise.

We Bangladeshis have been to most of them, and we know what they are.

This is what the Indian media says about their own ranking last year.

"The EIU’s Global Livability Index 2022 analysed living conditions in 173 cities across the world, six of which — New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad — were in India. All five Indian cities were ranked between 140 and 146, which means they fell in bottom quintile on the index.

Among Indian cities, New Delhi received the top rank of 140, with a livability score of 56.5. This was followed by Mumbai at 141 (score 56.2), Chennai at 142 (score 55.8), Ahmedabad at 143 ( score 55.7) and Bengaluru at 146 (score 54.4). The ideal score is 100.

This the first time that the index has included Chennai, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad — earlier reports only featured Delhi and Mumbai among Indian cities."

Bengaluru scores poorly on infra parameter, ranked least livable city in India in global index

So in summation all I want to say is - Pujaris don't make me post horrid pictures of your slums, people defecating next to railway tracks etc.

Know your place.

What a logic

India's financial capital Mumbai is seeing over $60 billion spent on infra upgrades

At least four landmark infrastructure projects in Mumbai worth $10 billion are expected to be completed over the next 18 months, which shall provide a long overdue upgrade to India's largest property market. The Mumbai Trans Harbor Link, Coastal Road, Mumbai Metro Line-3, and Navi Mumbai Airport...

Other than that, no Dhaka doesn't have 6 Metro lines under construction, just MRT-1 is rest are just planned and only 1 operational and going minor expansions.


Indian Tier-1 cities may not be the best but they clearly aren't worse than sub-saharan Africa like shonorland.

Plus Dhaka houses all sorts of factories which means dozens of slums which are in the process of being moved outside the city. I'd still say Dhaka fairs way better than Indian cities, most of which look like garbage, except some in the South.

What you say doesn't matter when all your cities look like overgrown villages/shanty towns.
Your uneducated rants aren't even funny anymore.

"Better than India"

You have one shitty city and you managed to take it to last. Kudos. And your uneducated rants on India are boring. At least Indian city ranks are going up albeit slowly unlike your slumland.

Where is Mumbai?

People living in CrapHole laughing at people living in Shithole.

Unfortunately, that’s South Asia in a nutshell and why we need Chinese leadership.

BJP keyboard turds fighting BNP keyboard turds.

Maybe the Chinese can bury them in a giant shithole.

Well, they are already there!

Well don't term us at PDF BNP turds. Almost none of us are BNP hacks.

The difference is that we know what dumps Bangladeshi cities are, and we also complain about it and try to find ways to better them.

Indian BJP bhakts try to deny reality and only post good parts of their cities. While most of the infra dates from the time of the British Raj.

Some bhakt idiots tried to post pictures of 3rd tier Bangladeshi towns as proof of how Kashmir has improved!

Indian megaslum cities offer alcohol and nightlife, which keep them above Pakistani and BD cities in these Western quality of life rankings.

 

[nahtanbob]

even with infrastructure improvements most South Asian cities are overpopulated
