How can local policy-makers provide people comprehensively quality of life, when the city is faced with challenges, like climate change or changing markets, driven mainly by forces outside the city’s responsibility?
How can policy-makers cope with the various conceptions of quality of life and the different, even contrary impacts of individual preferences and lifestyles when, at the same time, ensuring social equity and the potential for quality of life in the future?
Written jointly by the European Environment Agency, different European city-networks, including Energie-Cités, and other stakeholders, this report aims to raise awareness and to provide more clarity about the various perspectives and perceptions of quality of life and its consequences for the life of other people and generations. Considering the complex local-European interlinkages, the report provides ideas on how to bring cities more effectively into European policy-making as equal partners tackling their challenges and to discover jointly a balanced concept for quality of life for all citizens and future generations.
