Only aussie city mentioned.

Found it really funny as they surveys always ruffle feathers on here, so I had to post it

Khayelitsha, Cape Town, 2nd place on Special Mention awards? Are these jokers serious? It's a f**king squatter camp!

Love these things. They all have such different slants/angles that there will always be one that plugs the city you happen to be living in.

This particular one (Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize) gave it to New York.
Brissy is included as a special mention due to the strong vision of the city councils Urban Renewal agency.

Good on Brissy !

Well I was always a fan of the survey that named Iceland number one, just before it .... hit a financial iceberg and sank

DownUnderPaddy

come, come....read the whole thing.

The notable mention is for the success of their Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading program which addresses the most basic priority of urban policy -- personal safety.

Good work Khayelitsha

Brissie was also mentioned in some top music scene survey, its been quite a week.

However I suspect with the election tomorrow Captain Bligh probably slipped every survey going a free hand of bananas.

DownUnderPaddy

Do they even need to hold the election tomorrow.
After all, they know the result already

Trust me, from someone who has actually been there, you would not want to live in Khayelitsha (I dunno, maybe you would). Cape Town, just down the road, is much more 'liveable'.

I'm ignoring this 'survey'.

Yeah but reading the whole thing spoils survey threads.

I didnt even bother before I posted it.

I wanna change the thread title. Should have been BRISBANE, worlds best city. Mods?

Nobody from melbourne replied yet?

Look it gives people a chance to cry and mention how resiliant and superior we are

Translated as really miffed it wasnt Perth.

Or melbourne, if BB is reading, he was online too. Buzzeeeeyyyyyyy????

DownUnderPaddy

....but I am from Melbourne, and I said Good onya Brissy, didn't I

Amazulu

Go and visit the squatter camp, you'll know what I mean. Take an armed escort.

My apologies about your location, however its a survey thread so expect misleading posts.

I wouldn't be taking any notice of this one, load of pretentious rubbish. Not even a facts based one like Mercer or The Economist
