The mayor of Melbourne has commented that cultural diversity is the Australian city's greatest advantage.
Speaking to the Sun-Herald, Lord Mayor John So said: "Our laneways and arcades have spawned a cafe culture which is enjoyed by everyone who experiences it.
"We have a large student population, which makes Melbourne a young city. In Melbourne, you'll always find something you like to see or do."
According to the business ethics magazine, Melbourne has the one of the largest populations of international students.
Meanwhile, the Ethishpere Magazine has just placed Melbourne in its top ten list of cities with the most sustainable strategies.
This is largely thanks to the Melbourne Plan which hopes to turn the city into one of the top ten most liveable places in the world by 2020.
As part of the plan, the government hopes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60 per cent from 2006 levels and reduce water usage by 40 per cent over the next dozen years.
