Stockholm: top notch education and welfare,

but needs more integration for immigrants, to increase diversity.

Auckland: hosted the rugby world cup did wonders for it,

motivating it to create new entertainment precincts and public transportation was greatly improved as well.

Sydney: Innovative mixed use districts incorporating cycling paths, vertical gardens are one way

the Australian waterside giant is becoming more sophisticated.

Tokyo: hidden under the facade of a neon-lit megacity is a small town spirit featuring

world class shopping and business opportunities.

Melbourne: Australia's cultural hub

is getting even better with a big push to ease traffic congestion.

Munich: Unemplyment is low, but failure to act on a few key projects has hurt Munich's

standing. Its airport needs a third runway to compete with the other global cities on

this list. But didn't get one

Vienna: continues to evolve from a beautiful relic to a modernized classic. Affordable

housing and an imminent brand new campus for the Vienna University's school for economics

and business will inject youth into the city.

Copenhagen: the danes are the happiest people on earth because of places like this, with

near-perfect integration between city life and the outdoors. The city aims to be carbon

neutral by 2025.

Helsinki, Finland: crowned world design capital 2012, it is unveiling a new metro line and

converting its harbors into attractive residential areas. Helsinki is a city where good ideas

can quickly come to life.

Zurich: with 50 impressive museums, concert halls and theatres

a strict corporate culture, this clean, beautiful city is one larger cities should learn from.

In the end the cities that make the cut are not just OK, but places that are benchmarks

for urban renaissance and rigorous reinvention in everything from environmental policy to

transportation. Notably no city in the Americas made the top 10 and no city in South America or Africa

made the top 25.
