The July/August issue of [Monocle](https://monocle.com/) is hot off the press and, as has become tradition, it includes their annual Liveable Cities Index. Now, some of this could be construed as objective, but a lot of it is of course subjective. A liveable cities index is also very different from a global cities index, which is why you won't find New York or London, or Toronto for that matter, on this list.

Spoiler: Zürich takes the top spot.
