Canada’s major cities typically score highly in “best city” rankings. 밴쿠버 is frequently named among the 세계의 모든 도시는 ì‚´ê³ , 및 토론토 also ranks high on many “best of” scales.

그러나 최근의를 번영에 스코어 ì¹´ë“œ ì‹ ê³ , compiled by the 무역 토론토 ë³´ë“œ (the city’s chamber of commerce), reached a different conclusion: 기반 경제 경쟁력 as well as overall quality of life, the “지구상에서 가장 좋은 도시” 입니다…캘거리.

왜 캘거리? The report noted that:

On measures of Labour Attractiveness, 캘거리의 힘에서 온다 그 low incidence of low-income population, low homicide rate 및, somewhat surprisingly, its relative housing affordability.

Ranking just behind Calgary were Dallas and Hong Kong, 에 #2 및 #3, 각각. Fourth-place was a four-way tie between Toronto, 보스턴, 런던, and New York. Wrapping up the top 10 were Vancouver and Seattle (tied for #8) 및 퀘벡 시티 에 #10.
