PRIORITY AREAS The left-hand, dark blue section of each bar shows the Alignment, i.e. the proportion of those respondents who also answered the survey on the corresponding area by giving it low priority. A strong Alignment (i.e. consistency across both areas explained) means that these areas may benefit from close observation. From a list of 15 indicators, survey respondents were asked to select 5 that they perceived as the most urgent for their city. This is the total bar. The higher the percentage of responses per area, the greater the priority for the city.

Key survey data collected on Structures (left side) and Technologies (right side), under five key areas: health and safety, mobility, activities, opportunities, and governance. Each indicator presents the Score for the city and a comparison with its Group (1-4). Showing the Group’s Minimum, Mean, and Maximum Scores (light red bar) alongside with the city (blue circle) allows a clear comparison of the city’s performance in this indicator. The Methodology section provides the exact calculation of the Score. This table can be read in two ways: down to examine all Structures or Technologies indicators, or across to examine a key area in both Structures and Technologies. 3 GROUP TECHNOLOGIES BB FACTOR RATINGS BB STRUCTURES All ratings range from AAA to D 3 GROUP TECHNOLOGIES BB All ratings range from AAA to D
