1. Infrastructure 2. Education 3. Health Care 4. Job Opportunities 5. Safety **Why do you live where you live** 1. Job Opportunities. My family moved from Malaysia to Hong Kong due to the free economic climate and for my father's job opportunity 2. Education. Hong Kong has a rigorous education system which allows for the best tertiary and secondary institutions to be in the city. ![The University of Hong Kong is one of the most highly ranked institutions in Asia][1] 3. Infrastructure, We have a good governmental support in terms of infrastructure of the city. Roads, circulation, the urban design and walking experience is wonderful. ![We have a wonderful collection of elevated walkways, this image was taken a while back, but it has only expanded since then ][2] ![Escalators are implemented to go up the steep hills of Hong Kong Island][3] 4. Transportation. Hong Kong has one of the infamously well designed public subway systems and a complex bus system to aid the city. The history of the tram is also implemented in the CPD. It is highly efficient and utilized by all. ![The tram is integrated in our everyday life - creating a highly energized street life. ][4] 5. Culture. Hong Kong boasts a high foreign population. English is also a language used in the educational system and this encourages an internationalization and changing culture and image of the city. This state of flux is highly attractive. ![This image identifies an area of Hong Kong, central and displays a large variety of food available][5] **To what extent does your city fulfill your ideal livability criteria?** 1. Infrastructure - 90 2. Education - 75 3. Health Care - 80 4. Job Opportunities - 80 5. Safety - 100 General Livability of Hong Kong: 75 **What would you change ?** The housing condition and the density of Hong Kong. The ridiculously high cost of land is something to change and alter through governance or policies. **Why do we move?** I would move to Copenhagen. I would love to experience the low density in a highly efficient city. The biking lifestyle is appealing and their educational system is also highly attractive. I would also like to move to SIngapore. Many compare it to Hong Kong and say that they are both similar, however it SIngapore deals with sustainability better and has lots and lots of country parks. The last place would be Penang. I was born there and my family still lives there. Currently it is incredibly culturally vibrant city with a rise in the arts scene. 1. Education 2. Transporation 3.
