Description

Urban Quality of Life (QoL) is becoming increasingly important to individuals due to the global increase in urban populations brought on by rapid population growth and urbanisation processes. To accommodate the inflow of people, cities undergo alterations in physical features concurrently. The development of a city is greatly influenced by urban planning. Cities that develop face overcrowding, shoddy urban planning, poverty, high housing costs, and labour shortages incoherently. This may also result in a lack of investment and poor city management. It makes life more difficult for many individuals and may even increase crime and harm the environment (Zhang, X.Q.,2016). This means that policies and rules should emphasise fostering urban development and enhancing infrastructure, such as buildings and services. Policies should focus on what each location requires and employ various techniques, including rules, market tactics, and spatial planning, to ensure that cities flourish in a positive way. Urban Quality of Life (QoL) refers to how enjoyable living is in a town, considering how residents interact with their surroundings (Das, D., 2008). 2025 selection and editorial matter, Uday Chatterjee, Avishek Bhunia, Jyothi Gupta and Krishnendu Gupta; individual chapters, the contributors.
