**1. Which are your top liveability criteria?** My top liveability criteria are infrastructure, economy, housing, education and recreation possibilities. **2. Why do we live where we live?** For job opportunities, economic reasons, housing availability, educational availability, political reasons. **3. To what extent does your own place of residence fulfil your ideal liveability criteria?** Ranking each category as follows: *infrastructure 50%, economy 50%, housing 65%, education 75%, recreation 0%*; the average score was 48%. **4. What would you change?** a. Improve the urban infrastructure i.e. walkways, covered bus shelters, improved websites for local services, government services, etc. b. Implement more urban recreational spaces that cater to different age groups, socio-economic and cultural interests. c. A reduction in CO2 emission sources, reduced dependence on private motor vehicles for mass transport. Example: Adjacent neighborhoods are separated by canals with no accesible walkways so that people wishing to go from one neighborhood to the next less than 200 meters away, must instead of walking, procure a taxi to drive them the long way around. d. More locally sourced food options. Prevention of JB becoming a 'food desert'. **5. Why do we move?** I would move to Vancouver, Toronto or Melbourne. The reasons being climate and culture (very subjective reasons), and infrastructure, employment and educational opportunities. [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14446171984893502.jpeg
