The concept of livability was established in the late 60s

The LIVABLE concept?

applied in the late 90s as a result of several researches that were conducted at the last two decades of the twentieth

century on different aspects of post-modern cities(Soja, 1989; Davis, 1990; Madanipour et al,

1998)

A place where everyone can live in relative comfort … A place where they can bring up children, have privacy, sleep, eat, relax and restore themselves. … a well-managed environment relatively devoid of nuisance, overcrowding, noise, danger, air pollution, dirt, trash and intrusions.
