According to research by specialists, there are quite a few cities in the world that are comfortable for living in all respects. Such a rating was also compiled by experts from the popular and authoritative magazine The Economist, according to whose studies the city of Harare in Zimbabwe scored the lowest points, and Canadian Vancouver was named the most comfortable city for living in 2012.
Instructions
Step 1
Vancouver is located on the west coast of the North American country in the province of British Columbia and is the third largest city in Canada. According to 2011 data, 603.5 thousand people lived in it, excluding the suburbs and 2.3 million inhabitants, taking them into account. And the population density of the city was 5,249 people per square kilometer and 802.5 inhabitants, respectively. Vancouver residents speak two languages - English and French.
Step 2
The area of this city is 114, 7 square kilometers, and the surrounding territories are rich in flora and fauna with wet forests of mixed breeds (conifers, as well as maples and alders). The city is excellent and the climate is moderate and quite warm. There is relatively little rainfall over the year, except perhaps for three summer months. There is a moderate drought in Vancouver in July and August.
Step 3
The total population of this comfortable city is dominated by Anglo-Canadians, but all its advantages annually attract a large number of immigrants to Vancouver. Over the past decade, the city has expanded significantly in Chinatowns, and new neighborhoods in Vancouver are being built in styles familiar to China and Japan.
Step 4
Vancouver is one of the largest industrial centers in Canada, as it is located extremely favorably in terms of geography. The city's port is the largest in the country, with an annual turnover of C $ 75 billion. Vancouver is home to the headquarters of large logging and mining companies. Over the past few years, it has also been home to some of the world's most advanced biotechnology, software and film industries.
Step 5
In addition to migrant workers, every year Vancouver is visited by a large number of tourists seeking to get to know both Canada itself and the numerous scenic spots of the city itself - Stanley Park, Queen Elizabeth Square, as well as numerous forests, mountains and reserves that surround Canadian Vancouver.
Step 6
The city authorities are constantly striving to improve its already excellent living conditions. For example, trees growing in Vancouver were imported from the most remote corners of the planet, including from East Asia. On city streets you can find Chilean araucaria, rhododendrons, Japanese maples, azaleas and magnolias. In the 30s of the last century, the Japanese authorities presented Vancouver with several dozen sakura seedlings, which took root well.
