Cable cars over the river in Grenoble – the most liveable city in the world

From the ‘capital of the Alps’ to the Mozambican city on the Indian Ocean, these are the 1,000 most liveable cities in the world

A new study has assessed everything from internet speed to life expectancy in 1,000 global cities to determine the world’s best places to live. Grenoble in France is the world’s most liveable city according to Oxford Economics’ Global Cities Index.

The study ranks the 1,000 largest cities in the world – which are located in 163 different countries – by five categories: Economics, Human Capital, Environment, Governance and Quality of Life.

Quality of life

The Quality of Life category covers the well-being and satisfaction of a city’s residents, reflecting the influence of various socioeconomic factors such as health, equality and cultural vibrancy which ultimately results in the overall happiness of residents.

In 2023, the 1,000 largest cities in the world accounted for 60% of global GDP and over 30% of the world’s population—and the importance of cities will only continue to grow in the future.

– Global Cities Index

At the top of the Quality of Life category are cities with lower inequality and residents who live longer lives. Most of the cities also provide residents with access to a range of recreation and cultural amenities. These cities tend to be smaller than the leading cities in the Economics or Human Capital categories.

Every city in the top 10 of the Quality of Life category is located in Western Europe, apart from Canberra in Australia (2). Grenoble in France scored highest in the Quality of Life category, driven by its range of recreation and cultural sites per person and income equality.

The index uses six indicators to assess the quality of life in a city:

  • Life Expectancy
  • Housing Expenditure
  • Income Per Person
  • Recreation & Cultural Cites
  • Income Equality
  • Internet Speed

In second place is the only non-European city in the top 10, Canberra. It benefits from among the highest life expectancy rates in the world and high levels of income per person. The rest of the top 10 are cities in northwestern Europe, all of which have a combination of high incomes with relatively high-income equality, long life expectancies, and vast offerings of recreation and cultural sites.

Why Grenoble?

Grenoble in France came out on top in the Quality of Life category thanks to good results across all six indicators, particularly in the Recreation & Cultural Sites and Income Equality subcategories.

The abundance of green spaces in and around the city significantly contributed to Grenoble securing the top spot in the ‘recreation’ category. Surrounded by the Vercors and Chartreuse regional natural parks, Grenoble offers easy access to nearby nature and ski resorts – with the closest slopes only a 20-minute drive from the city centre. Mid-week lift passes are notably inexpensive compared to other Alpine regions, sometimes as low as €15.

Mountain sports are an important tourist attraction in summer and winter. As such, it’s not uncommon for locals to take a day off work when favourable weather is predicted to enjoy uncrowded slopes adding to Grenoble’s claim to be the world’s most liveable city.

The city’s views are spectacular, especially from the Bastille Fortress which can be reached by a one-hour uphill walk or a cable car included in the convenient G-Pass city card. At street level, the Musée de Grenoble features an excellent 20th-century art collection, including works by Matisse, Picasso and Warhol. Grenoble comes alive after dark, with a vibrant atmosphere fueled by its student population of 65,000, making up 40% of the city’s residents.

When it comes to the Income Equality subcategory, in Grenoble, the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city centre is approximately €640 a month. In Paris, the same will cost around €1,600.
