Interesting idea. Reminds me a bit of the Liverpool Opportunity Index thread we had on the @DoESLiverpool mailing list last year - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/does-liverpool/opportunity/does-liverpool/n9kBeDpb0yQ/FkXccLxCGrQJ

Does anyone know what the "100 city performance indicators" actually are, without me having to buy a copy of the standard document for £135?

amcewen commented 8 years ago

I don't know. Does the library have things like ISO standards, or access to them?

A couple of related links, from a similar discussion I had recently:

It seems the library does have it! https://twitter.com/Liverpoollib/status/656086789791338496 and https://twitter.com/Liverpoollib/status/656087304579252225 say that it's available from the "Enquire" desk on the first floor of Central Library

Reading http://edition.cnn.com/2012/11/24/opinion/johnson-progress-overlooked/index.html and in particular its points that (a) civic improvements often don't have huge marketing budgets (compared with commercial endeavours) and (b) we're not good at spotting the gradual improvements over time - it reminded me of this issue, and whether a slower-moving, longer-perspective dashboard would be good for us

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/601107/data-mining-reveals-the-four-urban-conditions-that-create-vibrant-city-life/ (and more so the associated paper http://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.04012v1.pdf) has some interesting approaches to using OSM, census and mobile phone data to gauge a city's vibrancy.

Apparently it's Open Data in Melbourne which is handy. Perhaps Australian law prohibits intrnational standards from not being freely available. I'd check into it but i have to dash.
