The Quality of Life Initiative implemented by UN-Habitat and sponsored by the Quality of Life Program, is a global project transforming how cities understand and improve urban well-being by harnessing human-centred data to capture what people truly value.
The Initiative invites cities to undertake a joint assessment of their residents’ quality of life to identify key areas for monitoring and improvement. By going beyond numbers and using an inclusive approach, the Initiative empowers people to pioneer a better future by providing new insights and knowledge to create more resilient, compassionate and thriving communities
The Initiative defines “quality of life” as a dynamic assessment, collective or individual, of the opportunities provided by a city for people to thrive. This holistic approach places people’s experiences at the forefront of urban development and decision-making.
