Quality of Life '07

The Quality of Life Project was established in 1999 to provide social, economic and environmental indicators of quality of life in New Zealand’s six largest cities. It was initiated in response to growing pressures on urban communities, concern about the impacts of urbanisation and the effects of this on the well being of residents. The Quality of Life Project has since expanded to include twelve territorial authorities.

The project is ongoing and has produced three reports, in 2001, 2003 and 2007. Visit the Quality of Life website		The Quality of Life Project purpose is: To provide information to decision-makers to improve the Quality of Life in major New Zealand urban areas

The Quality of Life Project has been expanded recently to include twelve territorial authorities. Most of these urban areas are part of the Metropolitan Sector of Local Government New Zealand and are either urban in nature or are facing high urban growth on the fringe of urban areas.
