About Us
​Urban livability as an ensemble concept evaluates multiple facets that make up city life and improve the overall quality of life. The present living conditions, accessibility to essential amenities, scope of opportunity, physical and social well-being, environmental justice, sense of safety, etc. constitute urban livability as experienced. The urban studies discourse has largely responded to the concept of ‘urban livability’ through indexing systems considering generic parameters for the general population.
