| [DAWN] Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... has been named among the least liveable cities in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) ‐ the research and analysis division of the Economist Group. The annual EIU survey ranks 140 cities on a range of factors, including political and social stability, crime, education and access to healthcare. This year, Karachi has been ranked 137th on the list ‐ the fourth least liveable city in the world ‐ only managing to fare better than Damascus in Syria, Dhaka in Bangladesh and Lagos in Nigeria. The survey found that civil war and terrorism played a "strong role" in the worst performing cities. Of the cities with poor scores, 11 occupied the very bottom tier of liveability, where ratings fell below 50 per cent and most aspects of living were severely restricted. The [low] rankings of cities like Damascus, Karachi and Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... suggested that conflict was responsible for many of the lowest scores. |
