To what extend does your own place of residence fulfill your ideal livability criteria? Climate: 90 Infrastructure: 50 Safety: 20 Transportation: 75 Job Opportunities: 90 4. What would you change? The biggest change that I would implement would be the improvement of the infrastructure, because for me the livability of a city will get better when the city has multiple advantages por the people living in it. The infrastructure gives the opportunity to improve the other criteria, for example the creation of job opportunities and more safety as people will have places to spend time, to go to study, etc. 5. Why do we move? Montreal: climate, young and student life, transportation, safety, health care Singapore: job opportunities, sustainable development, climate, environment, good architectural examples. Denmark: free studies, transportation, sustainable development, history, good architectural examples
