Montreal: Back in top 25 cities by Monocle

[ouaouaron]

Happy to see Montreal back in the 2016 top 25 cities ranking by Monocle, one of my favorite magazines. Montreal is back at number 25.

 

Unfortunately the magazine is not online so you will have to pick it up at a bookstore!

A few takeaways from the Montreal description:

 

Pros: SLR

Cons: "Lack of diversity"

 

Other Montreal mentions in this latest issue: Alexandraplatz and Quartier Marconi

Lack of diversity? I'm sure Tokyo is so ethnically diverse...

 

No 3 in North America, and ahead of Toronto and Québec. I'm happy.

Another one of those 'nonsense' lists. Montreal is 25th. Why not 20th or even 16th.. or number 1..

Montreal = lack of diversity? C'est pas sérieux...

En effet. Ça diminue la crédibilité de ce magazine. Franchement, mal renseigné.

I read somewhere that the Montreal Métro network is vastly inferior to those of other cities of comparable size. They said it was a major negative factor since it should be much more extensive. I think that it was a German site...

Surtout avec Tokyo en no.1. C'est tellement pas une ville homogène!

If we compare Montreal with Sao Paulo. The metro system on both cities having the same number of station. But Sao Paulo is way more populous than Montreal.

Avec le regain de « vivre ensemble, de paix et d'amour » qui foisonne en Allemagne, je donne pas long avant que Berlin et Vienne ne rejoignent Paris

While listening to Monocle, Montreal and Toronto were pretty much tied, but they decided to go with Montreal. It is nice to see Montreal back on the list. When you compare their QoL list to others, some things are quite similar in the rankings or why many of them are great cities to live in (safety/security, affordability and so on).

 

I was bored one day, so I made a spreadsheet with different cities and their rankings from: Monocle, Mercer, Numbeo, EIU and others (Google Drive). It is still a work in progress for the US and global cities.
