1. Job opportunities 2. Safety 3. Housing 4. Infrastructure 5. Transportation **2. Why do we live where we live?** I live in **Torremolinos – Malaga (Spain).** 1. Housing: Parents owns a flat in the city and they used to rent it for holidays. We moved here for proffesional opportunities. 2. Job opportunities: the village is near to Málaga, where we work. 3. Transport: It has a good conectivity by train, an international airport and motorways. 4. Recreation possibilities: It has great beaches and a recently updated promenade. 5. Safety: It´s a peaceful and quiet place to live. **3. To what extend does your own place of residence fulfill your ideal livability criteria?** 1. Job opportunities (50) 2. Safety (98) 3. Housing (95) 4. Infrastructure (90) 5. Transportation (90) General score for the city: 88 **4. What would you change?** a) The economy and job possibilities of Torremolinos are mainly focused on Tourism and recreational activities. It would be important to create more diversity and offers a wider range for education, technology, culture, etc. b) There are parts of the city that have a lack of trees. I would try to promote projects to create more public spaces with appropiate vegetation. c) The only cycle lane in Torremolinos is on the promenade and it has no connections with Málaga, other cities or other parts of the city. Therefore, I would promote the use of bicicles creating more cycle lanes in the city. d) The city centre is getting out dated. It is particularly important to implement a regeneration of the area. **5. Why do we move?** 1. Málaga: job opportunities, diversity, transport, infrastructures, housing. 2. Barcelona: job opportunities, international connectivity, infrastructure, diversity, safety. 3. Düsseldorf: transport, infrastructure, job opportunies, safety, diversity. 4. Florencia: diversity, culture, transport, safety, infrastructure. 5. Geneve: job opportunities, international connectivity, infrastructure, diversity, safety. ![][1] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14578973339782313.jpg
