Uploaded on 2019-05-25 by Aurian Durbuis
1) 5 most liveable cities - Singapore - San Francisco - Berlin - Barcelona - Paris 2) 5 most important features of a liveable city - Developement of Public Transit and Parking management to avoid congestion and limit car uses. - Exisiting green pockets within the city to provide calm space and recreational areas easily accessible. - Street design with enough spaces for walking and biking. - Overall accessibility/affordibility to culture/entertainment, food, sport facilities and housing. - Authenticity of different parts of the city and cultural diversity. 3) City I live in: San Francisco (SF) - SF meets most of the criteria presented above but is still very car-dependent. I would recommend doing more parking managment (SF Park is starting doing that) and more bike lanes. For the rest, it is a really good city to live in in terms of cultural diversity, easy access to culture, very expensive though but beatiful place, lots of green parks and quite a lot of space with the sea and beatches surrounding the city.
