LONDON: The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) – the research and analysis division of The Economist Group – in its latest report has ranked Karachi as sixth-worst liveable cities of the world.

For the second consecutive year, the metropolis maintains its 134th rank in the listing of 140 worldwide cities.

The rankings were assigned on basis of qualitative and quantitative factors falling broadly in the categories of infrastructure, healthcare, stability, culture, environment, and education.

The survey excludes cities like Kabul or Baghdad for the conflict is ongoing while only including cities or business centres that people might want to live in or visit. However, cities like Damascus, which were in the near past relatively unstable, have been included.
