Research on how to Improve the Liveability of City Community

Article Preview

Abstract:

The term ‘liveability’ has markedly risen up the political agenda in the UK in 2003, with an £89m Liveability Fund being given to 27 local authorities from central Government. The government also developed many other related policies, regulations and targets to improve the quality of local environment. This paper presents the positively interrelated factors that can greatly contribute to the promotion of liveability. It aims to synthesize a set of innovative approaches to improve the liveability of our living places and make cleaner, greener and safer communities.
