概要
 It's late, you're on your phone, and up pops a headline: the best city in the world to live in. Depending on the list, that's Copenhagen, The Hague, Zurich or Rostock. So how can the best city be four different cities?Lena and Sam open up four famous rankings to see what's inside: the EIU's Global Liveability Index (comfort and services), the European Commission's survey of residents (what people say about their own city), Numbeo (crowd-sourced numbers with money included) and Mercer (a tool for employers). Plus what you could gain from reading them properly, who it's a great fit for, and four ways to make it work: ask who a list is for, write your own top three, match the list to the question, and check the visa last.This week's next step: write down your top three, pick one city you're curious about, and look it up on two different lists. Notice what each one sees.If you made your own best-city ranking, what would count the most? Reply to The Bigger Map newsletter and tell us. We'll ask before quoting anyone.Sources (checked 2 November 2026):
