I would like to limit myself with 3 most important criteria for livable city. I think they are: infrastructure, economy and safety. I've put infrastructure on the very top of my list because I think it leads after itself (sometimes partially) other criteria, like, accessibility and housing, economy leads job opportunities, safety leads environment and culture. I live in New York City, to be more exact, in Brooklyn, to be even more exact, in Bushwick. I like this neighborhood because of affordability of housing (you can understand it, when you realize I'm a 22 years old student living in a foreign country on my own), the other thing is accessibility - I live nearby the subway stop in the city where subway is available 24/7. What is missing in my area is a criteria of safety - it's a pretty crime neighbourhood, and missing safety leads poor cultural development. If I would be choosing the other area in New York to move in to I'd choose Park Slope because of it's cultural and environmental development, choice of another city would fall to Copenhagen because of a high index of a pretty much every criteria and my choice of a country to live I would stop on Germany.
