IN THIS WEEK’S FRIDAY5

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has released the latest rankings of the 2022 Global Liveability Index, which ranks the world’s most liveable cities. Cities were classified across 5 categories including stability, healthcare, education, culture and the environment, and infrastructure, but the index was still largely driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although restrictions eased in many parts of the world, the global average score remained below the pre-pandemic time. Western European and Canadian cities dominated the top positions with Vienna first, Copenhagen second, and Zurich and Calgary in third place. The biggest climbers in this year’s edition were Western European cities, with Frankfurt advancing 32 places over the past year.

“Photos frame ephemeral moments and use these captures to tell stories in a much more straightforward way than the actual space does. While the margins of photos are already frames of images, creating a second frame within the image is a powerful way to direct the focus. When the photo is divided by the second frame, there are usually contrasts between the inside and outside of the second frame. The contrasts then emphasize the characteristics of both parts of the photo. See how the second frame works in the photos of six finalists from the ‘One Photo Challenge’.
