Criteria for Evaluating Cities

This paper should be a minimum of 900 words – approximately three double-spaced pages. 

This assignment is intended to help you think about the criteria that can be used to measure the quality of life of cities.  There are many organizations (for example, government organizations, community-based organizations, magazines) that conduct annual surveys of the quality of life of cities in the United States and the world.  They typically rank the top 5 or 10 cities based on a particular set of criteria.  Here is an example:
