Safety C) My selection of most livable cities was through my own experience in the city. I would like to throw light on my home city- Pune, India • Pune is now trending towards a SMART city in terms of its mobility and transportation with the new Metro system. • With many parks, Pune needs to more focus on green pockets to create a network of green infrastructure. • After Mumbai, Pune is commercially flourishing with new businesses and Tech companies offering the flow of opportunities. • Known as 'Oxford of the East', the city has a well rooted education system attracting students at national level. Also, 'Cultural capital' has rich history and many authentic aspects like places,people, cuisine etc.
