L'Economist Intelligence Unit a été sévère avec Alger dans son classement de la "vivabilité" dans les grandes villes du monde. Sur 132 villes étudiées, Alger pointe à la dernière position.
Les villes les plus "vivables" selon l'EIU sont situées au Canada et en Australie. Vancouver serait la championne du monde de la vivabilité.
Toujours selon L'EIU, la persistance de la menace terroriste et l'insécurité ont beaucoup pesés sur le mauvais classement d'Alger.
Liveability - Where the grass is greener
While liveability considers factors of recreational and cultural activity, the "big city buzz" can hamper the scores of some cities, although not to the extent that a city will present significant challenges. Global centres such as New York, Tokyo, London, Hong Kong and Paris may find themselves let down precisely because of their size and attractiveness. Traffic congestion and higher crime rates associated with large urban centres have, to some extent, offset the obvious cultural gains of living in such locations. This has also been compounded by fears that large centres like London and New York will remain targets for high-profile terror attacks. Despite this, most major centres do not present any significant challenges to liveability.
Of the 132 cities surveyed, only nine cities present the worst-case scenario in which most aspects of living quality are severely restricted, reflecting general improvements on a global scale in areas such as education, health care and infrastructure. Four of these are in Asia, mainly South Asia. The other five are in Africa (accounting for three) and the Middle East (accounting for two).
The threat of terrorism and civil unrest is a major contributing factor to the cities that suffer from the worst liveability scores, as are poor development indicators. Algiers is the least liveable destination in the survey, with a score of 64.7%.
