This report explores how livability evolves over time and how different policy priorities reshape city rankings. The report combines time-series analysis, cross-city comparisons, and interactive weighting to demonstrate that livability is not fixed, but responsive to what cities choose to prioritize.
The top section establishes context through key performance indicators and a ribbon-style trend visual that highlights long-term changes in livability rankings across cities. The final section introduces adjustable “importance” levers for housing, transit, green space, and emissions, allowing users to simulate policy emphasis and observe real-time impacts across rankings, a geographic map, and supporting tables.
