The Global Liveability Index 2022 recently published by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) assessing 173 cities across the world has ranked Bengaluru 146th globally and the ‘least liveable’ city in India. DH spoke to a cross section of Bengalureans to know what they feel about their city and its ranking in the index.
Akhileshwari, a private employee, agrees with factors such as infrastructure and the environment having a major influence on the liveability of the city and making it tough for living. “I feel good education is not that affordable in Bengaluru. I find most of the roads narrow and filled with potholes making commuting a nightmare,” she says.
