城市宜居性是當前公共政策研究領域一個極具重要性與綜合性的主題。其重要性在於與人們的生活質量息息相關;其綜合性在於宜居性概念的維度之多之廣,衡量一個城市的宜居性需要對經濟、政治、文化等多個領域進行考量,否則難以得出符合常識的結論。本書擬定了整體全面的中國宜居城市指數研究框架,將客觀公開數據與主觀調研數據相結合,對中國城市(含港澳台)的宜居性進行了一次全面準確的描繪,進行了中國100個城市宜居性的總體及分主題的排名,檢索了各城市在宜居性上不足的指標,並通過「假設」模擬的靜態分析方法提供了有針對性的政策建議。此外,還著重分析了世界主要城市的交通宜居性。研究結果揭示並強調了宜居性與城市管理、基礎設施和公共安全之間的紐帶關係。這些結果能給中國的宜居城市建設提供有力的參考。
