City liveability rankings tell a biased story -- our research in Dhaka explains why

Friday, July 14, 2023

In the 2023 edition of its annual global liveability index, the Economist Intelligence Unit (the research and analysis division of the Economist Group) ranked the Bangladeshi capital 166 out of 173 cities.

Key Points: 
  • In the 2023 edition of its annual global liveability index, the Economist Intelligence Unit (the research and analysis division of the Economist Group) ranked the Bangladeshi capital 166 out of 173 cities.
  • While such lists tell a compelling story, it is an inherently biased one.
  • The Economist’s global liveability index is based on the experiences of expats rather than citizens.

Translocal lives

    • We were examining two kinds of spaces linked to seasonal and labour migration: rickshaw garages and mess dormitories.
    • These are typically located on the margins of the city in neighbourhoods such as Mirpur, Rayerbazar, Kamrangirchar, Shonir Akhra and Badda.
    • We found that both mess dormitories and rickshaw garages are brimming with movement and business.
    • Every night, Jalal slept on a bamboo platform above the garage in Dhaka along with about 25 other people.
    • He hoped to be able to move back to his home and business in the countryside after the rainy season had ended.

Multidirectional migration

    • The men, women and families housed there work across numerous industries: domestic help, construction, garment factories, rickshaw and car garages, small-scale businesses, street food stalls and local restaurants.
    • While typically made of permanent materials, these dormitories can seem unfurnished, as the most common living arrangement within them is on the floor.
    • As she explained:
      Every morning I rearrange this room with only one bed into a workshop.
    • Dormitories offer flexible rental arrangements, from one-day or weekly rentals to monthly and year-long options.

Cities as places of work

    • Cities are said to be overburdened by the pressure of migrants from rural areas, who have no other option than to settle in slums.
    • It is shaped by what the geographer Benjamin Etzold terms “translocality”: people organising their lives and their livelihoods across different places.
    • Cities need to be discussed not only in terms of their liveability but also in terms of their workability.
    • It is also the possibility of maintaining translocal networks and livelihoods – of continuing to live between places.
