We have the best cities

2 of the top 3 best cities to live in are Belgian. Silver is for Antwerp, gold for Brussels. Ok, Copenhagen is on 1, but our manneken Pis will pee their Mermaid, and Antigoon will chop of her hand by next year.
Brussels and Antwerp shared a 5th place last year.
That's all according to British media enquiry worldwide.

What do you think? Which is our best city, apart from Borsbeek of course.
And what can we improve?

Antwaarpen is't Stad, en de rest is Parking!

Maybe it is about time that they start to decide about the "oosterweel verbinding" Very happy Years of spending money on studies while the prices of the building materials keep rising Smile
I guess maybe renovating the neighbourhoods that kind of were neglected in the past (Borgerhout for example) could make Antwerp better. For the rest can't really think of something since I think it is already the best place to stay Wink

But I agree with Antwerp on the second place. It is a big city, but still there are much more quiet places than actually crowded ones. No idea about Brussels because apart of "brussel zuid" haven't I seen much of it Very happy

According to this: http://www.citymayors.com/features/quality_survey.html

Brussels ranked 14th

This confirms the above article: http://finance.yahoo.com/real-estate/article/105235/The-World%27s-Best-Places-to-Live-2008
