I just thought this thread needed some updating. Here's a fairly up-to-date list composed by and regularly updated by Hed Kandi in the Western Canada sub-forum...

For the third consecutive year, Vancouver is the top-ranked North American city -- and third overall -- in a worldwide quality of living survey by Mercer Human Resource Consulting.
Zurich tops the list of over 350 cities, scoring 108.2, followed closely by Geneva (108.1) and Vancouver (107.7).
The survey is designed to help governments and multinational companies place employees on international assignments. Each city is based on an evaluation of 39 criteria, including political, social, economic and environmental factors, personal safety and health, education, transport, and other public services. Cities are ranked against New York as the base city, which has an index score of 100.

- Vancouver is 'best place to live' -
Vancouver is the world's best place to live, a survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has found. The EIU ranked 127 cities in terms of personal risk, infrastructure and the availability of goods and services.
All the cities that fell into the top "liveability" bracket were based in Canada, Australia and Western Europe.
The worst places were Algiers in Algeria, and Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea because "many aspects of daily life present challenges", the EIU said.
