A new working paper by ESPON provides a methodology to assess Quality of Life (QoL) through a place-based and citizen-centric approach, based on the results of the ESPON applied research project ‘QoL – Quality of life measurements and methodology’, recent literature review and taking into account the current European policy processes.
Enhancing QoL is a key objective for policymakers at different scales, and it has become more relevant in the policy agenda along with increasing demands for the participation of citizens in the political process. This working paper is intended to inform and inspire policymakers and stakeholders in relation to how to operationalise and integrate QoL into policy processes at different levels.
