America’s Most Livable Cities

What are the best cities in the United States to live? What criteria are used to decide the best communities?

At www.mostlivable.org, you can browse the list of this decade's Most Livable Communities, honored by Partners for Livable Communities, a national non-profit organization that has been working at the frontlines of livability for over twenty-five years. These communities were selected for their innovations in the increasingly popular creative economy that have brought vitality and growth to their regions while not loosing sight of quality of life issues for their residents.

The website also includes a historical review of how the definition of livability has evolved over the past 25 years. For more information, please visit the resource link below.
