The Economist’s Intelligence Unit released its latest livability rankings and there was some good news for Bangkok and the Asia-Pacific region as a whole. Scores have remained the same, or in the case of Bangkok improved, thanks to a period of relative stability. This is in stark contrast to prominent cities in France, Belgium and the US which the report noted all stumbled a bit in the latest rankings. Terrorist attacks and civil unrest have seen livability decline in several notable cities with Paris, Detroit and Kiev all having to cope with unique challenges.

The EIC’s rankings, which scores cities based on their living conditions, indicated that things have improved in Bangkok since last year thanks to a more stable environment taking hold. In fact, it was one of only six cities across the globe to record an improvement in its score y-o-y. Tehran in Iran and Al Khobar in Saudi Arabia are two of the most notable cities to also accomplish this feat.
