1- Which are your top livability criteria? 1. Political stability 2.Safety 3.Job opportunities 4.Housing 5.Accessiblity 2-Why do we live where we live? I live in Tehran. The main reason I chose this city to live in, was job opportunity However it's not safe enough,the accessibility here is catastrophic, public transportation is inappropriate, traffic is an everyday issue,and pollution almost kills the citizens. The housing, although not easily-affordable, is not bad,at least you can find something livable. 3-To what extend does your own place of residence fulfill your ideal livability criteria? It's desperate, just look at it's capability of fullfiling my intended criteria: 1. Political stability 70% (thanks God, despite living inside a ring of war) 2.Safety 20% 3.Job opportunities 50% (it isn't worth it) 4.Housing. 50% 5.Accessiblity 10% (this one makes me cry) 4-What would you change? Accessibility and public transportation would be my very first priorities of course, it's important to rid this city of its paralysis,and I would conduct a long-term project to reduce and finally remove the air pollution. 5- Why do we move? I would move to cities such as Vienna, Zurich , Copenhagen. Because I can find these appealing criteria there; 1.safety 2.transportation and walkability 3.environment 4.culture 5.economy
