1. Which are your top livability criteria? The top livability criteria for me would be culture, international connectivity, safety, infrastructure, housing. 2. Why do we live where we live? I think the first reason, perhaps ignored most of the times, that I live here is because it is my hometown. Then I would say that the main characteristic of this city is its liveliness, in other words the people participate in the life of the city, the streets are hubs and every day is full of interactions. Afterwards two traits that make it a very attractive environment are that it is safe and affordable, in terms of housing and basic expenses. Lastly I would add as an element its surrounding environment, as it has a long sea front at the south and a forest at the north. 3. To what extend does your own place of residence fulfill your ideal livability criteria? culture 70% international connectivity 50% safety 90% infrastructure 40% housing 85% in total 70% 4. What would you change? The main problem of the city in an everyday basis is the issue of transportation. The traffic is excessive throughout the day causing pollution and long duration transits. To solve this problem, I would improve the public transport to increase the number of people using it and create pathways for cyclists, while at the same time banning cars from the city center. 5. Why do we move? My top choices for a place to move are: Utrecht environment, infrastructure, rhythm of life, transportation, economy New York opportunities, recreation possibilities, international connectivity, education, culture Dublin culture, environment, opportunities, safety, transportation
