Uploaded on 2019-08-07 by Ali Omengan
The five most livable cities in my opinion based on my experience and judgement are: (1) Denver, (2) Zurich, (3) Tokyo, (4) Vienna, and (5) Barcelona. The five characteristics that make cities livable are: 1. Space - It talks about the wideness or cramped-ness of spaces within the city. It also looks at the number of parks and open spaces. 2. Weather and Climate - It looks at the mild or extreme the weather is. 3. Amenities - It looks into the available amenities such as shops, activities, restaurants, and other establishments. 4. Environment and Cleanliness - It takes into account the community's common goal and mindset with regarding to protecting and conserving the environment. 5. Architecture - The architectural aesthetic of the city. I am currently living in Quezon City and below I will rate this city from 1 (best) to 5 (worst) for each of the five characteristics I have discussed: 1. 3 - Can be both spacious and cramped. 2. 4 - Erratic weather 3. 2 - Amenities are very much available the only limitation is the accessibility. 4. 5 - Very polluted 5. 4 - The city is generally unruly but we have university campuses.
