It is ranked 133 out of the 140 cities included in the study which looks at stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure.

Harare is, however, in the top ten of the cities that have shown the greatest improvement over the last five years. It is actually number three among the best improved, coming after Tehran and Dubai.

The most liveable city in the world is Melbourne and the least liveable is Damascus.
