The rating, produced on a scale of 60 to 90, is formulated from 28 survey questions designed to judge these three environmental factors.

Encountering a skyline of majestic skyscrapers that could have belonged to any city, I found myself filled with immense love for this vast country. As Dvorak’s “New World?? symphony played on my iPod, the city felt like a new world I was discovering for the first time.
