List of most liveable cities I know: -Hannover -Milano -London -Chicago -Bologna The order of these cities may seem causal and dispersed, but it is not: Hannover, where I studied and lived a year, it combines everything a city should have (transportation, green, events, universities) all linked to a reconstruction after the destruction of 90% following the second World war. My personal opinion then that large cities are more liveable as offering more services and above all offer the ability to reach these places by public transport and thus less pollution than those coming from outside. the main features, therefore, that should have a city to be considered livable, it is first of all an ease of transport and movement. This goes both for public transport but also a facilitation of private vehicles in order to be able to reach the sites as quickly as possible and to also have spaces to park the car itself without polluting to look for places or take overly long or busy roads. Then I believe that another important aspect are the green spaces that are offered to citizens, both as quantity as vast but mostly as maintenance so that the green can act both as a meeting place, from aesthetic condition and also as a positive factor to reduce pollution. The offer tourist then not so much linked to the monuments that are intrinsic to the historic cities but can also be represented by new monuments, see for example the Renzo Piano skyscraper in London is a city that certainly historic but manages to add new contemporary elements, but especially with regard to events and exhibitions that are offered to the population and the tourists themselves also free of charge. A liveable city then must also take into account an economic factor. Too often we see that the city is taking advantage of its tourist reputation have a cost of living exaggerated than the national average and that definitely goes to fall back on the same citizens. An example would be Venice, which has prices higher than average but thank you millions of tourists per year does not seem to have seizures. This is not really true because the permanent inhabitants of the city are diminishing strongly and Venice now has become a city to zero birthrate. a liveable city then has to submit in addition to the general services of leisure entertainment and anything else even structures of valid instructions and enter the city. This is to make and also facilitate movement of those who choose to live in the city but especially the families that for these reasons they choose to live in the city rather than move to the outside. I was born in Bologna but I state've always been very critical of the city and would like to avoid getting into political issues but unfortunately in Italy all the decisions that affect collective life unfortunately start at more political decisions than anything else. Bologna has many large parks but too often uncontrolled and now become meeting places for some kind of petty crime especially in the evening. The events that the city offers are not worthy of a city that would be considered at the international level, in recent years the situation seems to have improved but thanks to interventions of private with the opening of new modern museums always opposed by political but also by a certain mentality of the population connected to the past and a vision of politicized. The cost of living then it is definitely very high but not too much higher than that of other large point traffic city is a traffic unfortunately instead is a way that I might define screwball. Over the years he has gone to see build and destroy in a matter of months, entire streets or paths because they have not made previous studies and it only worked according to the will of a single commissioner who then realized the error after citizens this was regrettable. The public transport system is supported only by buses after that in the mid-twentieth century have decided to eliminate the tram and it was decided not to take advantage of hundreds of millions of euro already earmarked for the metro that even a medium-sized city deserves and especially among would benefit from this despite the thinking of many people who perhaps do not have an international vision of the matter. Unfortunately, I venture to say that as long as no change of the city administration can not wait big improvement.
