## Resource

Melbourne just leapt into third place in the 2026 Global Liveability Index, edging out Vienna in culture and environment thanks to its buzzing arts scene — while Australia proudly claims three top-ten cities, including Sydney at fourth and Adelaide at eighth, making it the only country with such elite representation. Copenhagen and Vienna remain the top two, but Australia’s strong showing proves that quality of life isn’t just about vibe — it’s built on stability, healthcare, education, and infrastructure too.
