Adelaide lives the good life as the capital of South Australia. Its #25 ranking in our overall Livability index is powered by its abundant green spaces that help it rank #2 for Air Quality and #5 for Heat Stress. It does well in our Lovability index as well (#37), a testament to its renowned food and wine culture and proximity to nearby regions like the Barossa Valley. Urban projects like the Riverbank Precinct revitalization will give citizens and enlightened visitors a vibrant cultural and entertainment district along the Torrens River. The city’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in its ambitious targets for renewable energy, with South Australia leading the nation in wind and solar power generation. With its #16 Parks and Nature, #21 Price-to-Income Ratio and #26 Nightlife, it’s no wonder word is getting out about Australia’s fifth-largest city. The economy is also booming (the city ranks #41 in our Prosperity index ) as investments in defense, renewable energy and healthcare have positioned Adelaide as a center for innovation and growth. The ongoing Lot Fourteen development, set to be completed in 2025, is a prime example of this, transforming the former Royal Adelaide Hospital site into a hub for technology, innovation and the arts.
