Environment, Education, Culture, Safety, International connectivity. 2. I live here for a limited amount of time, for an internship that will soon end. The reason I took this decision was the reason that as an architecture engineering student, this experience would be extremely valuable for me in the future. I do not consider this city livable according to my criteria and I would considering living here for a longer period. Although it has many benefits for this particular case. Safety and an opportunity for me. It is also connected internationally something that makes my stay better and enhances this experience. 3. My livability criteria are succeed for 20%. I am not satisfied bu the environment that is fully artificial, and the climate. The living conditions on this matter become even more unpleasant because of the unsustainable way this land is treated. I respect and admire the culture of the people but it is completely different from mine and our views do not much in plenty of matters of everyday life. One more matter that the percentage of my livability criteria are so poorly met is the recreational possibilities that here are limited and mostly limited in indoor activities, something extremely not fitted my taste. 4. Transportation is both a livability criteria and a factor to affect more of them, like environment and climate. Transportation in Dubai, and Sharjah as I would consider as the continuity of it as huge flows of people move from their residencies there to the work, is limited mostly in car use. The traffic is unbelievable, and there is not even a though put on car sharing, or railway use. Also, as i mentioned before I would care for the design of livable and sustainable open air spaces in large scale that could work as a network, helping the areas climate and the everyday life and recreation of its people. 5. From the cities I have visited I would gladly move to Barcelona for the Culture,Climate,Environment,Recreational Posibilities. To Thessaloniki, for Culture,Climate,Environment,Recreation posibilities, safety, or to Utrecht, for Environment, Safety, Job opport!unities, education, infrastructure.
