Liveable Cities
TASK OVERVIEW
Your task is to investigate one city and analyse that country based on the five objective factors of liveability (ACHGK044 & ACHGK045). You should determine the liveability of that city and compare it with Perth, Western Australia (ACHGK043). Finally, you must outline what steps you think that city must take to make it more liveable (ACHGK047).
You may choose from one of the following countries:

HUMANITIES & Social Sciences SKILLS
The Humanities and Social Sciences subjects include a range of skills that can be represented broadly as questioning and researching, analysing, evaluating and communicating and reflecting. Students apply these skills to their everyday learning activities and to investigate historical and contemporary events, developments, issues, and/or phenomena.
Questioning & ResearchingDevelop questions about events, developments, issues and/or phenomena; collect and organise information, evidence and/or data, from primary and secondary sources (ACARA, 2018).
|
AnalysingInterpret information, evidence and/or data to identify key points or ideas, points of view, perceptions and interpretations; identify the purpose of sources and determine their accuracy and reliability (ACARA, 2018).
|
EvaluatingPropose explanations for events, challenges, developments, issues and/or phenomena; draw evidence-based conclusions and explanations; and suggest courses of action in response to events, challenges, developments, issues and/or problems (ACARA, 2018).
|
Communicating & ReflectingPresent findings in appropriate forms for different audiences and purposes using subject specific terminology; reflect on conclusions/findings to consider consequences (ACARA, 2018).
