\nSingapore has fallen behind Hong Kong in global liveability.
\nSingapore has been ranked as the 37th most liveable city in the world in the Economist Intelligence Unit\u2019s (EIU) Global Liveability Index, down two spots from its previous ranking.
\nThe city-state was overtaken by Hong Kong by a marginal difference of 0.1 percent, as it settled in 35th place.

\nHong Kong\u2019s ranking fell significantly in 2015 due to heightened concerns of unrest as part of the Umbrella Revolution and was even surpassed by Singapore for the first time last year.
\nDespite the drop in its ranking, Singapore registered the highest possible score in the public healthcare category this year.
\nA part of the Worldwide Cost of Living Survey, EIU\u2019s liveability rating assigns scores to 140 cities based on healthcare, stability, education, infrastructure as well as culture and environment, reported Channel NewsAsia.
\nMelbourne has been overtaken by Vienna for the first time in seven years as the world\u2019s most liveable city.
\n\u201cA long-running contender to the title, Vienna has succeeded in displacing Melbourne from the top spot due to increases in the Austrian capital\u2019s stability category ratings,\u201d said EIU, referring to one of the five headline components in the index.
\nVienna\u2019s low crime rate and a downgraded threat of militant attacks in western Europe helped push the city to first place.
\n\u201cWhile in the past couple of years cities in Europe were affected by the spreading perceived threat of terrorism in the region, which caused heightened security measures, the past year has seen a return to normalcy.\u201d
\nOsaka, Calgary and Sydney rounded off the top five list in the survey, while Bangladeshi capital Dhaka, Lagos in Nigeria and Syria\u2019s Damascus occupy the last three spots.
