1.Zurich 2.Copenhagen 3.Munich 4.Vienna 5.Helsinki five characteristics to make a city liveable: 1. good, reliable transportation system and infrastructure (clean energy with low to no co2 emissions) 2. low noise pollution 3. low Co2 emissions and pollution 4. recycling and green buildings 5. technology Quito city is highly polluted both environmentally and acoustically if the city would exchange all public transportation vehicles with electric ones that would significantly lower the pollution amounts. In addition, the transportation system is not practical, the city is developing a subway system which is expected to start functioning soon, however, on-land transportation should be organized, a schedule must be implemented and propper bus stops should be installed. The city municipality is trying to encourage people to recycle by having recycling pick points which are not easy to get to, they have also banned plastic straws and plastic bags are expected to be banned in the next few months, it would be even more efficient if proper recycling garbage containers are put in every neighbourhood as people tend not to recycle due to the impractical garbage collecting system which does not support recycling.
