Vital Cities Index

The Vital Cities Index is an innovative tool that measures the 'vitality' of a city or project by evaluating key environmental, public health, economic, and social life factors. Designed to guide the transformation of urban spaces, the Index provides a comprehensive assessment that highlights the real-world benefits of creating vibrant, walkable, and healthy environments. For instance, our research shows that enhancing walkability can increase residential rents by an average of $301.76 per month, underscoring the economic value of pedestrian-friendly design.

The Index can be applied to individual projects with the support of a Vital Cities Accredited Professional or through our upcoming AI-powered platform. This platform will allow users to input specific project parameters and receive tailored suggestions based on the Vital Cities approach, streamlining the process of developing thriving, sustainable communities. By leveraging the Vital Cities Index, you can ensure that your projects are not only aligned with global best practices but also make a measurable impact on the well-being and prosperity of local communities.
