Caracas (Venezuela), Lagos (Nigeria) and Dhaka (Bangladesh) are recognized as the worst cities in the world for liveability. Beijing has received very low marks (mainly due to ecology and transportation problems) and Rio de Janeiro (extremely high crime).
The Quality of Life rating takes into account eight parameters, including purchasing power of the population, safety, health care, the cost of living, property price to income ratio, traffic commute time, pollution and climate.
