The best cities in the world for family life are named

The Australian website Compare the Market has compiled a rating of 50 cities in the world that are most suitable for family life. Experts assessed megacities according to nine criteria, including safety, number of green spaces, cost of living, length of parental leave and education expenses.

Brisbane, Australia, became the leader of the rating, which surpassed competitors due to the abundance of parks (almost 85 per 100,000 inhabitants), a high level of security and generous parental leave (54 weeks). London took the second place, and Auckland (New Zealand) rounded out the top three, receiving high scores for safety and green areas.
