The City is partnering with the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) to collect data on quality of life in Vancouver and selected other cities around the world. As part of this work we are collecting a survey at https://lnkd.in/gJsddjtz and we'd appreciate your help sharing it with your community and networks. The survey takes about 10 minutes, and is available in English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Tagalog, Spanish, Punjabi, and Vietnamese. We'd especially like to make sure we have good representation from folks in equity-deserving communities that might face barriers or challenges related to quality of life. Initial results will be reported by the UN-Habitat later this fall, and City staff will also use the data to inform updates and recommendations for the Healthy City Strategy, which are anticipated to be presented to Vancouver City Council in 2025.
