1. E (Environment) 2. I (Infrastructure) 3. D (Education) 4. N (Safety) 5. K (Job Opportunities) **2.- Why do we live where we live?** I live in a city named Ciudad Victoria, in Tamaulipas, Mexico. It is a city located at the north of the country. The reasons I live here are the following: 1. My family lives here 2. It is a small but practical city 3. It has basic infrastructure for a good life quality 4. It has a good standard of living 5. There are cultural events in a weekly basis (most of the year) ![][1] ![][2] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14566912656059996.jpg [2]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14566912825638484.jpg **3.- To what extend does your own place of residence fulfill your ideal livability criteria?** From my ideal of livability in a city, I’d rate my city with 65 out of 100, mainly because of the insecurity that reigns in the city (giving a low quality of safety) and also, job opportunities are quite little, and the existent job opportunities are not well paid or are very time/effort consuming. As a general livability score, I’d rate my city 43 out of 100, having in mind that my city is a small one, with a slow growth process and with lots of security, political, economic and infrastructure problems. I’d consider the best things in the city are its education quality, its sanitation and its housing. **4.- What would you change?** In first instance, I would try to eradicate corruption inside the government, so that every single person that works in it, tries to have a better city to live, using the resources (natural, economical and societal) in a better way so we could provide a quality of life that excels the requirements of the citizens. That way, we could reduce insecurity and vandalism, leading to better economics in the city and promoting social and cultural life. **5.- Why do we move?** A. Monterrey, Nuevo León 1. Good quality life 2. Lots of places to visit 3. Good job opportunities 4. Cultural city 5. International connectivity B. León, Guanajuato 1. Good quality life 2. Safety and security 3. Practical public transportation 4. Cultural city 5. International connectivity C. Puebla de Zaragoza, Puebla 1. Cultural city 2. Very good quality of life 3.
