Most Livable Cities

1 September 2000 - 2:30pm

Mountains, lakes and balmy weather are nice. But what makes a city truly livable nowadays is strong leadership and regional planning.

The Partners for Livable Communities picked four cities as "America's Most Livable" this decade: Charlotte, N.C.; Cleveland, Pueblo, Colo.; and Rochester, N.Y.
