Resilience Versus Quality of Life in Cities

摘要

There is a direct relationship between Cities Resilience and Quality of Life (QoL). QoL will be approached by a combination of Lovable (Magnetism), Liveable (Performance), and Affordable (NetPurchasePower) Cities. We explore how Lovability is a main driver for talent attraction, then Liveability means high performance KPIs associated to quality of city services and Affordability (NetPurchasePower). All of them are crucial for Resilience (better preparation, reducing exposure and the impact of potential threats, also accelerating recovery). Based on the UFV World Observatory of Attractive Cities for Talent (175 cities), we built a QoL cities index, with around 120 KPIs approaching Lovability, Liveability, and Affordability. Similarly, we developed a resilience index, including factors describing Preparation and Risk. The analysis found a clear correlation between QoL and Resilience. Lovable cities are more attractive to talent. This capacity for innovation allows them to implement effective solutions to face challenges (natural disasters, economic crises or human actions). City’s ability to provide better services (Performance or Liveability) not only reduces its exposure to any vulnerability but also fosters a more adaptable and prepared urban environment.
