Some cities are hard on their residents. In places with poor city planning, for example Lagos, which was called out recently by the Economist Intelligence Unit, public spaces are few, making outdoor activities hard. Lack of infrastructure (基础建设) blocks the streets with cars and the air with pollutants, and residents work long hours for little money.
These are just some of the factors concluded by Spotahome, a rental agency. They’ve analyzed data from a range of sources, including the World Health Organization, TripAdvisor and the CIA World Facebook to score each city on health, gym availability and quality, life expectancy, obesity (肥胖), green space and other elements to make a list to work out a list of the world’s healthiest cities.
The list is certainly Euro-centric but continuous sunshine is seen as a positive thing, even if it may be more of a disadvantage in other regions. But it does go some way towards suggesting which cities are getting it right in providing a good life for their residents. It may not be surprising to learn that most of the healthiest cities are in northern Europe, known for its people-first approach to city planning. The cities of Australia and Canada also do well — but Alaska, the first U.S. city is only in 34th place. The U.K. doesn’t fare too well either — its only city in the top 50 list is London, in 40th.
Whether you’re planning a wholesome holiday, or simply wondering what your city can do better, this list of the 50 healthiest cities will give you pause for thought about the future of city planning. Here are the attractive, healthy-eating, clean-aired cities that are getting it right.

【推荐3】Customers rushing to Paris's newest cafe to order their coffees and bread are now able to enjoy them in the company of a dozen cats.
The “Cafe des Chats” in the heart of the capital is home to a dozen cats that walk around tables or curl up on armchairs as people eat and drink.The establishment is aimed at Parisians unable to keep pets in small citycentre apartments.And though the idea may seem strange, cafe manager Margaux Gandelon says that the “purr (咕噜咕噜声) treatment” does good to customers' health.And it is real，“Purring produces vibrations(震动)，which lower your blood pressure and your heartbeat，”Gandelon says.
This month's opening weekend saw queues snaking along the roadside and bookings taken from now last until next month.Some 300 customers had to be turned away.Gandelon says animal welfare (福利) is important and customers are not allowed to abuse the cats.She is prepared to force any customers who are against the rules to leave the cafe.
Visiting the cafe out of curiosity，business student Florian Laboureau described it as a great idea, but said he was more of a dog person.Another customer Quack Quaack said，“I was really impressed when I was in Paris a few days ago.Just about everywhere we went, dogs were everywhere.But I thought I'd died and gone to heaven standing in the bank queue with dogs all around me with their owners.There were cats in a lot of the retail stores too that would greet you as you walked in.The US needs to get with this, pets are part of most people's lives and having them in public places makes the world seem like a happier and friendlier place.Wouldn't that be just wonderful？”
