The tables illustrate the outcomes of two studies conducted in 1980 and 2010, focusing on various aspects of city living in a specific city.
Overall, it is clear that education, healthcare, and the environment received the highest ratings in both years, while transport facilities garnered the lowest ratings. Additionally, there was significant improvement observed in education and employment, whereas the rating for transport decreased substantially over the three-decade period.
In 1980, healthcare received the highest positive response, with 82% of respondents rating it as good. This was followed by education and the environment, both of which received a rating of 72%. Moreover, nearly a quarter of respondents remained neutral, and almost 10% provided negative ratings for shops and environmental facilities. Furthermore, only half of the respondents were satisfied with transport facilities, while about a third expressed dissatisfaction.
By 2010, the positive responses for education and employment had increased dramatically by 10%. In contrast, the proportion of city dwellers who rated healthcare and transport positively fell by 8% and 13%, respectively.
