following questions:
- Why is it important to incorporate
considerations of quality of life, well-being, livability and “Right to the
City” in urban public policy?
- What does a liveable city look like? What
are its characteristics? (e.g. parks; social events; transport; etc.)
- Which indicators should we consider in order
to measure and evaluate the quality of urban life?
- What are some current public policies,
social programs and urban development strategies aimed at improving the quality
of urban life in Latin America?
- What additional public policies could be
incorporated to improve the quality of urban life? Who should be in charge of
implementing them?
