The liveable cities lists are never accurate. It's extremely subjective. People have very different priorities when it comes to what city is 'ideal' for them. You have to visit them to know for sure - A big part of it is that people in different countries tend to have vastly different mentalities (sometimes it's hard to put your finger on it) but it can affect the whole experience of living in a particular city. From that list, I've been to Melbourne, Perth and Vienna; Melbourne and Perth were fine but they are nowhere near my favourite cities to live. I will agree that Vienna is really nice though - It's clean, orderly, has a good culture, people are very friendly, food is great, it's affordable (especially accommodation) and public utilities are great.
