20 Why is liveability important? 1. Liveability is a popular, contemporary urban planning concept 2. We are unsure how liveability might impact health 3. Popular global liveability indicators mask within-city differences 4. Potential to align liveability indicators with urban planning policies and health outcomes 5. Opportunity to benchmark areas spatially to identify intervention points; AND 6. How do we ensure Liveability outside of major cities?
