Calgary was among three Canadian cities to land in the top ten, with Vancouver taking first spot for the fifth year in a row.

Toronto was ranked fourth on the list of 140 cities worldwide.

The highest ranked U.S. city is Pittsburgh, at 29th place.

The most unlivable city in the world is Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, the list's authors said.
