in JapanOsakaIs 12th (GenevaIt is the same as "the livable city" in Asia with the same ratio)TokyoIs ranked 18th. However, "Medium-sized cities with comparatively low population density in developed countries are more likely to receive high evaluations because of few problems such as crime and overcrowding while gaining profits in terms of culture and infrastructure" so,Hong KongIs No. 31,BeijingIs 72nd and the overall popularity of popular Asian cities tends to be lower overall.
