Most Liveable Cities Debate on CBC

Yesterday, on the new show The Point hosted by Aamer Haleemthe issue of criteria for most liveable cities was discussed. http://www.cbc.ca/thepoint. One panel member who was a writer for an arts magazine in Calgary felt that these list are mostly about low crime, low cost of living and have very little to do with the ambiance and vibe of a city. The three cities mentioned as the most welcoming and warm that offered a sense of wonder and exploration were 1.Barcelona  2. Copenhagen 3. Prague.

One point that really struck home with me was the issue of disparity. When a city has multiple homes for the rich and few homes for the working class… turning them into the “working poor” then the city becomes uncomfortable and therefore unlivable.

Kelowna once hosted two professors from Lethbridge that discussed what Canadians were looking for in livable mid-sized cities and the list was short: inexpensive housing and cost of living; low crime rate; unpolluted environment;a place to walk the dog. Our fair mid-sized city has a big price tag for housing and cost of living; a high crime rate; increasing problems with higher traffic in a valley setting not to mention the imminent water shortage issues; it has traditionally been difficult to find an off leash dog park.

Kelowna is one of the fastest growing cities in North America; rapid development sometimes causes growing pains. One of those consequences is that Kelowna is the fifth most expensive housing market in Canada behind Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria.
