Developing measures of Urban Quality of Life in the era of systematic Urbanisation: A Comparative assessment of Neighbourhood and Metropolitan Scales

This research paper discusses aspects of urban planning that have been linked to improvements in people's quality of life. Physical space clearly moulds our sense of attachment to our surroundings on both an individual and social level, and it surely affects how we interact with it, even though it can be difficult to establish a straight causal relationship between it and wellbeing. As urbanisation rises, it is anticipated that this relationship will deepen, with much of it taking place in unofficial settings. Historically, this field continues to be of interest to several researchers. This paper aims to Quantify and try to make the components of quality of life measurable in the light of metropolitan, Neighbourhood and pedestrian scales. Data was gathered from the residents (n = 305) and processed with Lisrel 8.0 and SPSS 20.0. The information gathered was carefully examined, and scales for measuring urbanisation and quality of life were constructed and put through tests to ensure their validity and reliability. These measures were chosen from the literature. The conventional role of design must be revaluated in light of urbanisation in favour of more adaptable and cooperative techniques for creating, occupying, and managing space. The study adds to the body of knowledge on urban quality of life and has consequences for civic organisations operating in the world's largest cities. Future studies can make use of the scales created in this study for further research and development purposes.
