The reason I live here is because of education. I decided to study in the university situated in this area because it's one of the best in my country. There is another top ranked univerity here, so there are so many students and huge variety of cultural activities. The city is small, then all urban equipments and establishments are nearby. Furthermore, there is safe and has low cost of living. ![][1] **3) To what extend does your own place of residence fulfill your ideal livability criteria?** 1. Infrastructure: 60 2. Safety: 70 3. Sanitation Standards: 80 4. Transportation: 10 5. Political Stability: 80 General Livability: 60 **4) What would you change?** The first thing I would take to improve is the infrastructure and affordability. Frequently, we find a tree in the middle of the sidewalk, and not rarely this sidewalk can reach less than 80 cm. It's unbelievable. If people without special needs can't walk on it, how disabled people could do this? **5) Why do we move?** Tokyo, Japan 1. Affordability 2. Transportation 3. International Connectivity 4. Economy 5.
