1. Culture 2. Recreation possibilities 3. Job opportunities 4. Transportation 5. Housing **2. Where I live:** I live in the "the white city", the historical core of Tel Aviv, which is a part of UNESCO's world heritage list on the basis on cultural criteria. This area of Tel Aviv is world famous for its modernist Urban design and excellent structure of streets and avenues. The reasons why I live here: 1. Culture (there's a great urban culture of walkability and social activities on the public realm.) 2. Proximity to the sea 3. Proximity to urban utilities: bank, shops, healthcare, ect. 4. I can walk to work! 5. 24hr city **3. My Livability criteria:** My current place of living would rank 70 on my livability criteria. I would rate Tel Aviv 80 on a general livability criteria **4. Things I would change:** Even though Tel Aviv is a great city, it still needs to improve. My main concerns are the skyrocketing housing prices and insufficient public transportation. Furthermore, the undoubtedly greatest area of the city is the historical core, where the urban structure is clear and walkable. Extending the urban principles that work so well in the historical core to the surrounding neighborhoods could improve the quality of life in more areas of the city, reducing the "pressure" on the core. **5. Three places I would move to:** Tel Aviv currently ranks high on my livability criteria. Living the city would only happen if my values change. In that case I would consider the following: 1. Givataim - (In case of ranking economy higher) (1. Economy 2. Housing 3. Job opportunities 4. Transportation 5.saftey). 2. Kibbutz in a rural area (in case of ranking family life higher) (1. Economy 2. Education 3. Environment 4. Safety 5. Housing) 3. Melbourn (in case of moving abroad) (1. Culture 2. Recreation 3. Education 4. Job opportunities 5. Transportation) Examples of city life: 1. Tel aviv shoreline ![Tel Aviv Shoreline][1] 2. Tel Aviv Avenue ![Tel Aviv Avenue][2] 3. Mixed used streets ![my street][3] 5.
