1. Culture 2. Climate 3. Education 4. Safety 5. Environment Question 2. Why do we live where we live? I live in Arequipa because is one of the most important cities in Peru and all my family and relatives are here. In addition Arequipa has many opportunities to live with acceptable conditions. Also, after the historical center was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site many opportunities for professionals have appeared. ![https://www.google.com.pe/imgres?imgurl=http://l7.alamy.com/zooms/f1b9f483c8dd41b18c9bc6b96c4f95b4/basirmica-cathedrarm-of-arequipa-basirmica-catedrarm-prmaza-de-armas-ff2cch.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/typicarmrmy.html&h=447&w=640&tbnid=RUzKoWTgREGuTM:&docid=Vbo8rtblM0CNsM&ei=1TEFV6q5A8zLeKLEtqAC&tbm=isch&ved=0ahUKEwjq94SdsPrLAhXMJR4KHSKiDSQQMwhBKBwwHA][1] Question 3. To what extend does your own place of residence fulfill your ideal livability criteria? Culture: 70/100 Climate: 80/100 Education: 70/100 Safety: 70/100 Environment: 70/100 My place of residence: 80/100 Arequipa: 70/100 Question 4. What would you change? Arequipa should be more development to be attracted for tourists and explode the title of "UNESCO World Heritage". In addition is necessary to increase the level of livability up to the top. Not all areas of the city are as well developed, connected, or diverse in amenities. The first thing probably I do is install a new transportation system. Mobility in the city is chaotic, the amount of vehicles will become unsustainable and its time for a change. I would also encourage more diversity in housing development type and income levels. Question 5. Why do we move? 1. Copenhagen, Denmark. Reported high in satisfaction with quality of living. The outdoor culture is present. and this city impart an environmental conscious to development to their citizens. This model of city is something I can hardly imagine here in Peru. 2. Amsterdam and Delft, Netherlands. The paradise of urban mobility. 3. Melbourne, Australia. Focus urban transport planning on public mass transit systems integrated with pedestrian only streets.
