dc.description.abstractMeasuring the quality of urban life has a long tradition in many parts of the world (Gahin, Paterson, 2001; Ghosh, Vale & Vale, 2006). 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.en
