Abstract

The growing problems of urbanization, economic development, and environmental sustainability have shifted the emphasis of contemporary urban studies to the quality of life in urban populations. Measuring quality of life helps cities measure citizens' overall contentment and suggest areas for improvement, offering valuable information to urban planners and politicians. One well-known instrument for this purpose is the **Numbeo Quality of Life Index**, which collects data on important factors such as cost of living, healthcare, pollution, safety, and housing affordability. The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of utilizing the Numbeo Index to assess quality of life, with a particular emphasis on how its indicators affect public satisfaction and contribute to sustainable urban development. This study examines Quality of Life Indicators, Sustainable Development Indicators, and Numbeo Quality of Life Indicators. It compares their index scores to identify trends and establish the importance of these elements in determining urban citizens' well-being. In addition, the research sheds light on the Numbeo Index's potential as a practical tool for assessing and improving the quality of life in a variety of urban settings. This research aims to educate future urban planning methods and assist policies that promote sustainable, livable cities.
