We make decisions that affect our health every single day. Whether they’re related to food, sleep or exercise, these small choices shape the way we feel about ourselves. But there’s one key thing that we forget to consider: the city that we’re living in.

It's easier to stay healthy in a city with healthy social habits – places where clean air, fresh food and high-quality exercise facilities are valued. But it's much harder in cities with high levels of pollution, too many fast-food restaurants and not enough green space.

So what exactly is a healthy city? At Spotahome, we decided to find out. We created a healthy city index that scores over 80 locations across the world. Each city is ranked based on how well it performs across 10 distinct, health related factors. If you’re curious about our research process, please refer to the methodology.
