The Economist Intelligence Unit has released the list of 10 most livable cities across the globe as well as the world's 10 least liveable cities.

Its report , "The Global Liveability Index 2018," uses the combination of five factors to rate the livability of all the cities across the globe.

The first three factors are stability (level of crime and conflict), healthcare (presence and quality of healthcare) as well as environmental/cultural factors like climate, religious restrictions, food and drinks.

Education (quality and availability of private or public education) is the fourth factor followed by infrastructure which looks at the quality of roads, public transport, provision of water, housing, energy and telecommunications.

Of the top 10 bottom cities, six can be found in Africa. Below is the liveability rating for these African cities:
