1. Housing, Education, Environment, Job Opportunities and Sanitation Standards. 2. I live in Curitiba, Brazil. Job Opportunities - (close to mixed-use areas) one of the few cities in Brazil where the Industrial Park can be reach within minutes through an express highway. Transportation - Curitiba implemented the first BRT system in the world. I take the bus to work and get there faster than I would by driving. International connectivity - cosmopolitan feel, with growing migrant populations. Climate - mild winters and not too warm summer, an overall pleasant weather, a notable plus in a country like Brazil. Culture - Curitiba is a very culturally rich city, witch great festivals, museums, parks and cinema theaters. 3. Housing-45, Education-70, Environment-70, Job Opportunities-60 and Sanitation Standards-30. Overall rating: 55 4. Housing developments on vacant lots in downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. Making the most of installed infrastructure and operating services, and broad-access to leisure and culture activities present in these areas. 5. Copenhagen. Vancouver and Cape Town. Those are all safe, mid size cities with beautiful surroundings, internationally connected, culturally rich, that have presented in the last decade a clear approach to quality of live and well being in urban scenarios.
