Urban Audit

Abstract

The aim of this paper is the presentation of the Urban Audit project, which has existed in Europe for more than a decade. As the collection of comparable statistics for many European cities, Urban Audit is an important source of information about the quality of living conditions in urban areas of Europe in which the majority of population is concentrated. This paper describes the developmental phases of Urban Audit. Special attention is paid to the spatial levels that are distinguished in this project, as well as to the typology of the analyzed cities. Finally, a reference to the possibility of inclusion of Serbia in the Urban Audit is presented. One of the indirect intentions was to prove that 'statistical geography' is interesting and important, and above all a very useful activity of collecting, analyzing and presenting data.
