According to the report, Austria’s capital has enjoyed the title thanks to a number of different factors, including a well-planned and developed public transport network, a healthcare system that has proven to be affordable for many people and street safety. The index looked a five different categories to determine a score for each city included in the listing, with Vienna scoring a near perfect score across four of the five groups.
