Brainstorm/Discuss:
What features do you think are important when determining a place's liveablity for you?
(Compare this to an older person, say your grandparents)
Who says which is the most liveable place?
Liveability is very subjective. It used to be measured with looking at a countries economic growth.
BUT
There are other measures to help explain liveability:
1) The Economist Intellegence Unit (measures a city's liveability)
2) The Human Development Index (measures a countries liveability)
3) Other indicators - The sustainable economic development assessment
Who says its liveable?
The Economist Intelligence Unit
1. Economist Intelligence Unit
1) The Economist Intelligence Unit devised a ranking system to judge liveability of cities and provides a score out of 100.
The index covers the following categories:
- safety (rates of crime, terror threats and civil unrest)
- healthcare
- culture and environment (religious tolerance, corruption, climate and potential natural disasters
- education
- infrastructure (transport, housing, energy, water and communication
- economic stability

The Human Development Index
2. The Human Development Index
Is a hybrid indicator that measures health, knowledge and standard of living (SOL) for a country
- Health is measured by life expectancy
- Knowledge is measured by years at school
- SOL is measured by Gross National Income per capita
The overall combination of these categories gives a score from 0.0-1.0
