Melbourne has twice ranked first
in a survey by The Economist of The
World's Most Livable Cities
on the basis of its cultural attributes,
climate, cost of living, and social
conditions, once in 2002 and again
in 2004. The US's Utne Reader puts
it thus: "Add a long tradition
of civic pride, communities of new
immigrants from around the world,
and the best food in Australia, and
you have a recipe for what many claim
is the hippest city in the Southern
Hemisphere"
