Answer sheet – week 3 Measurable criteria of livability 1. How would you define livability? In my opinion livability is term directly connected with quality of life. However, both are very broad terms, which can be defined in a variety of ways, depending of your point of view. In my opinion livability is freedom, is accessibility and it is lack of concern. It is to live in a place with infrastructure (sewage, water, energy…), safe, and with a clean air. But at the same time, a livable city is a city where people walk, cycle, and play on the streets. It is when your children can play outside and you can walk without be afraid. 2. If you need to define livability with the following terms, how would you rank them?
