Another one of those livable-city lists

This one from Monocle (by way of the New York Times): What Is the World’s Most Livable City?

Copenhagen is the world’s most livable city, according to a collaboration between Monocle magazine and the organization Cities for People. The city took the top spot in an annual list of the world’s 25 most livable cities for the second year in a row.

Monocle took a close look at the Danish capital, as well as the top-ranked cities in Asia (Tokyo) and North America (Vancouver), in the video below:

Overall, Vancouver was 15th on the list.
