1. Economy 2. Transportation 3. Culture 4. Safety 5. Climate 2. The place where I live is the city of Ghent in Belgium. I moved here 2 years ago in order to do my Masters. The main reasons I chose this place are: the studies (education), Belgium is part of the healthy economically Europe (Economy), Job Opportunities in the city, Safety in your daily life and the easy Connectivity of the city with other Belgian cities, such as the rest of the north Europe. ![Ghent, Belgium][1] 3. According to my basic criteria I would rate Ghent with the following grades: 1. Economy 65 2. Transportation 90 3. Culture 75 4. Safety 80 5. Climate 50 For me, the overall for the city of Ghent would be: 75/100 4. As a mayor of the city of Ghent which hosts around 72.000 students with a various range of ages, I would try to use this power. I would try to provide several opportunities to students and especially to university students who are searching for some job experience, volunteering occupation, or internship opportunities in order to be competitive in the future. This as a result, will not only help themselves, but also the city, which would be more productive and attractive for more students. So, to sum up, this will re-enforce the following liveability criteria: Job Opportunities, Economy, Education and Recreation Possibilities. 5. The places that I would like to move are the following three: Stockholm, Amsterdam, Copenhagen. I would choose those cities for similar criteria. The main reason would be the Economical situation of the countries they belong which is in high levels comparing with the rest of the Europe. All of those cities even if they are capitals, they are not big megacities. They don't face traffic problems due to the infrastructures they have which offers them great transportation in between the surrounding cities and countries. Moreover, the high level of Culture and Education they have, made their universities been listed among the top in the world. [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14561786678486495.jpg
