Kampala Beats Hyped Kigali, Nairobi In City Rankings
The verdict is out. Uganda’s capital, Kampala has been ranked the best East African capital city to live in.
This is according to the latest Quality of Life Survey in the world’s 230 top cities conducted by Mercer.
The study examined social and economic conditions, health, education, housing and the environment, and is used by big companies to assess where they should locate and how much they should pay staff.
Only two African cities, Cape Town (92) and Johannesburg (95) make it into the top 100 cities, which are dominated by Europe, North America and East Asia.
War and political unrest are behind all the worst-ranked cities in the world. Surprisingly, Damascus is named as only the seventh worst, ranked better than not just Baghdad but also Bangui in Central African Republic, Sana’a in Yemen, Port-au-Prince in Haiti, Khartoum in Sudan, and N’Djamena in Chad.
