Urban Quality of Life: Critical Issues and Options by Lim Lan Yuan & Belinda Yuen & Christine Low
Critical Issues and Options
The issue of quality of life has increasingly become an area of attention in cities around the world. Studies have been undertaken to measure quality of life, in terms of the tangible and verifiable aspects of material wealth, physical health and opportunity for recreation, as well as subjective responses of people to their living environments in terms of satisfaction and well-being. When seen in the context of city living, quality of life represents a key issue in the evaluation of a city's living environment. The essays in this book are drawn from the first international conference held in Singapore on the subject of Quality of Life in Cities. Grouped in three broad categories, the papers discuss issues of definition and measurement of quality of life in cities, quality of life studies conducted in particular countries and alternative perspectives and approaches for future studies. |
