Abstract

In the nowadays European Union (with 27 state members), 74 percent of the total population lives in cities and towns with more than 5000 inhabitants; otherwise, only 25 percent of European citizens live in a rural surroundings. Consequently, it matters very much for any policymaker, be they at European, national, regional or local level, to realize what is happening economically and socially in Europe’s cities and towns.It is one of the main concerns of the renewed Lisbon Strategy and also of the Community Strategic Guidelines on Cohesion for 2007–2013 to develop the attractiveness of regions and cities. Whether as homes, workplaces or centers of learning, cities have a major impact on the lives of a majority of Europe’s citizens. A good quality of life is essential for drawing and retaining a skilled labor force, businesses, students, tourists and, most of all, inhabitants in a city. Evaluating the current economic and social circumstances is a requirement for any improvement, development and future monitoring. Using more indicators covering most aspects of quality of life, e.g. demography, housing, health, crime, labor market, income disparity, local administration, educational qualifications, environment, climate, travel patterns, information society and cultural infrastructure we tried to propose some solutions for reducing differences in urban–rural development.
