The first thing I would do would be to increase green public spaces for people to relax and socialize in their spare time because of missing so many spaces in my city, and there are outside it. Try to unify the bus companies to have greater control of public trasnsporte with routes and defined as in major cities worldwide schedules. Would increase public colleges and universities for greater access to education regardless of economic status. 5.Why do we move? - New York: Environment/ Transportation/ International connectivity/ Job opportunity/ Culture - Barcelona: Environment/ Arquitecture/ Transportation/ Culture/ proximity to the sea - Berlin: Environment/ Culture/ International connectivity/ Education/ its history (image taken from http://www.elmundo.com/portal/vida/turismo/10_puntos_de_informacion_turistica_le_dan_informacion_de_medellin.php#.WCNccy197Z4)
