Abstract

With the continuous development of ecological city construction under the concept of “ecological civilization”, the creation of ecologically livable cities has become more and more important. Since urban livability involves a wide range of social life, the establishment of urban livability index evaluation system can help analyze urban livability and residents’ quality of life, and then optimize and control urban spatial structure to promote high-quality urban development. This study takes Wuhan, Hubei Province, as an example, and establishes a comprehensive index evaluation system based on 12 indicators in three criteria levels: economic, social, and environmental, and calculates a comprehensive score of urban livability for each district in Wuhan City, and conducts a comprehensive evaluation of the 13 administrative districts under Wuhan City. Based on the final scores, we analyze the livability and friendliness of each district in Wuhan, analyze the spatial pattern of the results, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the livability of each district in Wuhan, make scientific reference suggestions to promote the coordinated development of each district, guide the rational allocation of resources, and provide a reference for decision-making to promote the livable communities in each district in Wuhan.
