Centralize the city, minimize urban sprawl. Create more open spaces and green areas as a breather for the city. provide a really reliable transportation network and system ( which they are working on) 5- Rotterdam : The culture there is great. people are very open minded and educated. the means of transportation are great between public and bicycles. Housing here is very uniqe and diverse. Berlin: Culture there is great a very artistic city. I personally like the cold and rainy climate. very affordable city to live in. You can get anywhere with a bicycle, or take the Ubahn if you're lazy. Dubai: Everything here is great except the climate and cost of living. It's unbearable in the summer. and even if you have an above average income the cost of living is still very high. PS: I lives in Los Angeles for 7 years, and lived in Florida, Berlin, Barcelona and 4 different cities in Saudi. and I traveled all over the world. also the photos are not mine.
