1.) Top criteria: Safety Infrastructure Housing Job Oppurtunities Environment 2.) I live in Hannover, Germany. The reasons are: Job opportunities Mobility (good cycle network, public transport) Infrastructure - from health care to shops, transportation, education Environment Culture 3. My place of residence fulfills my ideal livability criteria at about 85 per cent. The general livability score of Hannover would be at about 90 per cent. 4. What would you change? I would try to reduce traffic in the city and dedicate more areas to walking and cycling, and have car-free zones for pedestrians only. I would improve walkability, especially for slow movers (families, elderly people, handicapped people). I would try to bring more „life“ to public spaces, i.e. create more places where people can meet, play, create, enjoy culture, do public gardening etc. It would also be important to me to involve the inhabitants, have them participate in the improvement of the areas where they live, work, spend their free time. I'd also like to promote cultural activities. 5. I would consider moving to Hamburg (Germany), Copenhagen (Denmark) or Oslo (Norway)because of their: proximity to the ocean/nature Job opportunities Infrastructure Mobility A more relaxed atmosphere
