The survey in a broader context
The results of Veolia Observatory 2008 survey make it possible to sketch the portrait of the average city dweller.Apart from the differences revealed by this approach,the analysis of lifestyles brings into sharp contrast the differences in how people actually live.
People do not live in cities in the same way in Asia or Central Europe, Africa or in North America.
In developed or emerging countries, there are significant shifts depending on whether you are young or old,male or female, the ranking of values, priorities, aspirations and the perception of the city's future.
City by city, the Observatory identifies the anchor points, drivers and hindrances in people's relationship to their city. After all, the sound management of this relationship is a major issue for any city of the future that wants to remain attractive and dynamic.
And as this relationship is constantly evolving, the task of the Veolia Observatory is to continue to monitor it closely.
The sample of respondents included 8,608 people aged from 15 to 70 years, in the 14 cities covered by the survey as follows:
Each sample was compiled using the quota method reflecting the available socio-demographic data (sex, age, profession and sector in most cases).
