No. 9: Philadelphia
Great public transit in a well-planned city along with a plethora of historic buildings qualified Philly for this list. Its low rank, however, stems from the city's need to balance new building with preservation of all those landmarks. The prevailing undercurrent of traditional design has, to a certain extent, hampered the development of more innovative architecture. In addition, 50% of survey respondents in Philadelphia rated their quality of life as "fair" or "poor."
