Bangalore:
We always hear of surveys done to find out which is the best city or
country in the world. There are studies done to find out in which
city is the standard of living very expensive and so on and so
forth. Rarely do we come across a study or survey done to locate the
most inexpensive city in the world to live in.
Now here comes a survey to find out the least expensive city in the
world, carried out by the 2010 Mercer Cost of Living Survey. The
survey threw out some very interesting results.
Kolkata (ranked 8th) emerged as the only Indian city to make it to
the list of the world's 10 least expensive cities. The capital of
West Bengal has a populace of more than 15 million. The city is
fondly referred to as the cultural capital of India.
The city that held the top spot is Karachi, the largest city in
Pakistan. Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, followed at a close
third.
It is no surprise that the cities featuring in this unique list are
located majorly in third world countries or developing nations.
Here is the complete list of the cities in ascending order (one to
ten): Karachi (Pakistan), Managua (Nicaragua), Islamabad (Pakistan),
La Paz (Bolivia), Ashgabat (Turkmenistan), Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan),
Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Kolkata (India), Tegucigalpa (Honduras) and
Windhoek (Republic of Namibia).
