Barcelona, the third happiest city in the world
By Pol Berbel Arqués
Forbes and the market research company GfK Roper City Brands published a list of the 10 happiest cities in the world. Barcelona was in third position, after Rio de Janeiro and Sydney. Barcelona also came 15th in a survey made by the ONU in 2009 on cities’ standards of living.
The happiness list is the result of a study based on the opinions of 10,000 people who have probably never visited the cities in question. A staff member from Oh-Barcelona asked his work mates about this in order to find out what Barcelona’s citizens really think.
People who were born in Barcelona say that the city’s position on the list is justified because of its mild climate, its geographical location and its cultural and night life. Although the opinion of foreigners who live here is similar, they add that Catalans are quite reserved.
