These measurements were developed within social sciences first (Sawicki, 2002), mostly urban sociology, and then urban ecology as antecedents of inter-disciplinary urban studies (McDonald & Patterson, 2007, Wong, 2002). Their specialised applications in urban planning, management and governance based on principles of sustainable development (Flood, 1997) became a recent trend. What is to be said about measuring the quality of urban life nowadays, especially when fashionable urbanism is created by influences of globalisation, or ‘glocalisation’ emerge as a natural response? In this dynamic performance, where both major and small key players strive to achieve their interests, urban indicators are useful “instruments” for decision making. Today, many cities, regions and countries have decided to introduce them for monitoring and measuring the progress towards sustainability and improvements of spaces and human lives.Item Open Access Diogo Mateus (PT) : Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias(AESOP, 2011)Urban Planner (PhD., Master Degree and 5 years degree on Urbanism) Head of Urban Planning Department on Universidade Lusófona, Lisboa Portugal since 2006.

One of urbanism aims is giving quality to the space and, with that or by it, the opportunity to people achieve quality of life. But work about quality is not a simple task because the sense of quality varies in time and space, by culture, by educational and economic backgrounds etc…. The advantage to could bring, in the same space, young professionals and researchers from different countries of Europe to debate the sense of urban quality meant we to take the challenge to coordinate the European Urban Summer Scholl of 2011. The preparation of EUSS’11 started late in time and the course only occur on last week of September, with all problems that it could bring because coincides with the beginning of master and PhD courses where young professionals were enrolled had begun. But beside a few inscriptions (about 20) we take the risk and organize the EUSS’11 with collaboration of two municipalities – Odivelas and Sintra – that provide us the “ground” and all needed information to work the discussed theories and give solutions to improve the space quality and with it the opportunity of life quality for users. The need of a full work days – from morning to night – do not demoralize the important and pleasant fun/party part, an important component that make us more motivated for work. The weather bring us sunny and hot days in the autumn (more than 30º C). This conjugated things brought us a work environment conducive to a good final results in the way to use the space improvement as a positive factor to give users quality of life opportunity.Item Open Access Izabela Mironowicz : Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP)(AESOP, 2011)AESOP Vice-Secretary General.
