Quality of Life in Cities: Experiences of cities piloting the Quality of Life Index

Quality of Life in Cities: Experiences of Cities Piloting the Quality of Life Index examines how five pilot cities implemented the Quality of Life Index, drawing on their experiences to assess its feasibility, value, and impact. The report highlights practical lessons on governance, stakeholder engagement, data collection, and policy integration, demonstrating how the Index supports evidence-based, people-centered urban development. Its findings provide actionable recommendations to guide cities and UN-Habitat in scaling the Initiative and strengthening the use of quality of life data in urban decision-making.
