A new approach to measuring the liveability of cities: the Global Liveable Cities Index
World Review of Science, Technology and Sustainable Development, 2014This paper advocates a new measure of liveability – the Global Liveable Cities Index (GLCI) – to rank the world’s major cities. The GLCI advances the measurement of the ‘liveability’ construct by taking into account the multidimensional sensibility of diverse groups of ordinary persons across 64 cities.

International Journal of Public Theology, 2023
Abstract It is now recognized that the majority of people who will be adversely affected by climate change will live in cities. It is time for a public theology to explore how its resources might be put to use in the service of extreme cities in the era of the Anthropocene. The city of Sydney provides a rather surprising case study for such.

The chapter focuses on livable life, the curious concept engendered by the theory of performativity as the theory of agency. The main thesis of the whole section is that not all lives are livable. Some lives, varying historically and topographically, are unlivable because they are not qualified or counted as alive in the same way.

Intelligent Sustainable Liveable Cities
2012 Eighth International Conference on Intelligent Environments, 2012As the urban populations increase we have to think more deeply about how to make cities less stressful and more creative for people to live in.

The life that politics is concerned with follows the order: procreation, subsistence, direction. The sovereign still announces, ‘I am master of myself as of the universe’;1 the contemporary individual learns to manage his or her existence and feelings. Salvation of life is but its prolongation in an ancestral biozoopolitics.

Built Environment, 2003
With the instigation of new technologies, of many of the sensory qualities in the urban environment that directly affect quality of life have become measurable. It is argued that a more sophisticated approach to measuring these 'liveable' qualities of the environment will in turn lead to more balanced and nuanced decision-making, but that first a ...
