one of the "best cities to live in" and is certainly a beautiful destination to
visit.Vancouver topped the list of the world’s most
livable cities for the fifth straight year, while Melbourne claimed second place from Vienna
and Australian and Canadian cities dominated the list’s top 10 spots. In the annual survey by
the Economist Intelligence Unit, the Canadian west coast city and 2010 Winter Olympics host

and infrastructure — a score unchanged from last year.

in the country, about 50% of Vancouver's population is immigrants with the majority coming from
Asian countries.
