I think livability is extremely subjective, but personally I define livable a place sorrounded, in a small range (or more distant but with good connections,) by all the facilities I need to live. So livability is strongly related to an efficient system of facilities. Luckyly cities are transforming theirselves from monofunctional areas to multifunctional and that could make them more livable if related to a sistainable development. The firs step for a sustainable developmeny is an accurate analysis of the city (or the considered area). Such analysis has to obtaim basically two things: the strenghts and the weeknesses of the city, in order to understand its risks and its opportunities. Involving people in this analysis and later during the project, guarantees a better result. In Rome one of the bests ways to increase livability is re-use. We have lots of abbandoned buildings and very often people occupies them (the problem of owning a house still exists). That's why I'm going to debate about the system of roman forts in my thesis. There are about 15 forts in Rome, all around the old city, so now they are inside the city and could be used for several purposes. The following is an example: Forte Boccea ![Forte Boccea][1] More images [here][2] [1]: http://i65.tinypic.com/zu3xqb.jpg [2]: https://www.senato.it/application/xmanager/projects/senato/file/repository/Intervento_Franco_Storelli_2.pdf
