What do inhabitants of your city think? The 'Soul of the City' programme knows
Introduction
Have you ever wondered what Barcelona residents think of the cultural facilities in their city? Have you always wanted to know if people in Stockholm are having difficulties paying their bills? And would it not be interesting to know how people in other European cities think of your city? Gallup Europe's 'Soul of the City' website answers all these questions. The programme allows cities to measure and track their political, economic and social well-being based on how residents view their performance in providing healthy living and working conditions. The goal is to help each city foster economic development and multiculturalism, and to learn how to bring more satisfaction to its residents.
Description
Topics of the Gallup Soul of the City survey are, to a large extent, traditional issues (city services, items of general satisfaction, etc.). Gallup however also adds a great deal of emotional measurements to the old
battery of questions and provides measurement that quantifies the engagement of citizens in each city. It looks beyond the economic circumstances and asks questions that relate to the three 'Bs' of the
famous quality of life components: Being, Belonging, and Becoming.'
Gallup is able to integrate the 'Soul of the City' perception measures with statistical information collected from public sources for over 250 cities in the EU and beyond. The survey also includes a series of polls in the context of The Gallup World Poll. Overall, Gallup's Soul of the City provides an in-depth analysis of residents' thoughts in the Member States and elsewhere. As such, it is both a strategic decision-making tool and an interesting benchmarking instrument.
On the 'Soul of the City' website, information on the views of residents of nine European cities is provided: Paris, Stockholm, Berlin, London, Madrid, Barcelona, Dublin, Helsinki and Rome.
It is also possible to see which cities are most popular to visit and to live in. In this respect a much wider comparison of European cities is available.
