The world’s happiest city has been revealed

According to the results of the research conducted by the Quality of Life Institute of London, Copenhagen has ranked first among the top 200 cities in the world for the best places to live and the happiest cities. Thus, the capital of Denmark has received the highest ranking in terms of livability, quality of life, and well-being.

Other cities that made it to the top five are:

• Zurich (Switzerland)

• Arhus (Denmark)

• Antwerp (Belgium)

The ranking was based on several key indicators, including:

• General Well-being – education levels, housing accessibility, and social welfare provided by the state

• Governance – information transparency and the use of electronic services

• Environmental Quality – the presence of green spaces, clean air, and waste recycling

• Economic Conditions – GDP, employment levels

• Health – availability of medical services, mental health, and work-life balance

• Mobility and Logistics – the quality of public transportation, travel costs, and accessibility

Experts note that these indicators directly impact the daily lives of residents. As a result, most of the cities ranked highest have high living standards, efficient public services, and strong relationships between society and the government.

Such data provides essential guidance for urban planners, political leaders, and residents. These studies also define the future direction for cities to grow in.
