Monocle’s 2008 listing of the World’s Top 25 Most Liveable Cities features two new U.S. entries to the list.  Along with Honolulu, which was included in the first listing last year, Minneapolis and Portland have also ranked in this survey of the cities that offer the best quality of life. 

The selection process was based on factors such as global transport connections, communications, environmental initiatives, crime rates, architectural offerings, public services, urban planning and urban village life.   Interesting to note that this year “metrics to gauge the cultural footprint of cities as well as the ease of opening a small business” were added.

Honolulu placed 12th, Minneapolis 19th and Portland 25th in the survey.
