We investigate how traits of cities explain subjective well-being and its subcomponents. Building up a happiness function, where life satisfaction is determined by satisfaction on life domains, we analyse the impact of city-level determinants of happiness through a multi-level analysis. Our results show that Italian cities have an effect on subjective well-being through different happiness domains. We then examine the relationship between the estimated coefficients of domain satisfactions and some relevant urban-context variables and amenities. This approach allows urban policy agendas to be designed around city-specific characteristics.

Abstract

We investigate how traits of cities explain subjective well-being and its subcomponents. Building up a happiness function, where life satisfaction is determined by satisfaction on life domains, we analyse the impact of city-level determinants of happiness through a multi-level analysis. Our results show that Italian cities have an effect on subjective well-being through different happiness domains. We then examine the relationship between the estimated coefficients of domain satisfactions and some relevant urban-context variables and amenities. This approach allows urban policy agendas to be designed around city-specific characteristics.
