1. How would you define livability? --- I'll define it as the sum of characteristics that makes a place suitable to live in. 2. If you need to define livability with the following terms, how would you rank them? (1: most important - 7: least important) --- 1.Opportunity 2.Environment 3.Neighborhood 4.Health 5.Housing 6.Transportation 7.Engagement. 3.Choose three cities in the United States (preferable cities in different states) and go to the following webpage: https://livabilityindex.aarp.org. Search for the chosen cities at the livability index. 4-Have a look at the livability scores. How high is the livability score of every city? Please note the scores of this question in a table like the one below. Click on "customize this score" and customize the scores according to your rankings for question 2. Shift all the bars to the left (less important), except from the term which is most important to you. Shift the bar of your "number one" to the right (more important). 5-How much has the livability score of every city changed? Please note the scores of this question in a table like the one below. ![ingrese la descripción de la imagen aquí][1] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14442738507195425.jpg 6- Can you explain the change in livability scores of your cities? Do this on basis of the terms in your ranking --- After changing the bars according to my ranking (I put Opportunity as the most important term), the scores of Boston and San Francisco went abruptly down, and San Antonio went up. One possible explanation could be that Boston and San Francisco are both big cities with a lot of people, or maybe the activities in those cities are more specific, so the opportunities are reduced.
