The European Commission released the results of the 5th Flash Eurobarometer survey on the “Perception of Quality of Life in European Cities“, conducted in 79 European cities and focusing on the quality of infrastructures and services, employment opportunities, the housing situation, the integration of foreigners, feeling of safety, pollution, green spaces and cleanliness. Among the main findings: Oslo, Zurich, Aalborg, Vilnius and Belfast record the highest level of satisfaction. Satisfaction with health care services provides another example of such positive evolution, notably in Braga. Braga scores high in many other issues, for example regarding schools and educational establishments and a positive perception towards the presence of foreigners. In Lisbon, the majority of respondents (57%) say they are satisfied with public transport. Regarding the city’s cultural facilities, the respondents in the city of Lisbon are more likely than those from the overall “Greater Lisbon” to be satisfied (69% compared with 59%). More information on the urban dimension of Cohesion Policy is available online.
