Uploaded on 2017-06-08 by Pablo Barragan
Top 5 cities: 1. London 2. Barcelona 3. Berlin 4. Edinburgh 5. Krakow Top 5 characteristics of a livable city: 1. Pedestrian safety 2. Availability of alternative transportation 3. Green public spaces 4. Clean air 5. Organized private transportation In Guildford, the five characteristics mentioned previously are strongly connected and function in an optimized way. Pedestrian always prioritized and there are roads available for the use of bicycles. Despite being a small city, there plenty of public green spaces that merge greenery and historic buildings. In Guildford the air quality is high since it is mainly a residential town. Private transportation can be a problem at some times of the day. However, each driver respects the others. Despite having small traffic issues, Guildford could improve this by re-designing the main roads that connect to London.
