Gallup Learn@Lunch:
Ceci n'est pas Bruxelles: Facts and Perceptions of Brussels
Event: Gallup Europe is pleased to invite you to a Learn@Lunch on the use of state-of-the-art measurement-based policy tools and the Gallup Soul of the City programme. This event will look at how such programmes can help local authorities, regional actors and interested stakeholders to foster economic development and multiculturalism and bring more satisfaction to a city's residents.
Ceci n'est pas Bruxelles
Facts and Perceptions of Brussels
by Robert Manchin, Chairman and Managing Director of Gallup Europe
Brussels is the EU's administrative centre and one of Europe's most cosmopolitan capitals. But are its citizens satisfied with its quality of life?
And just as rivalry exists between Paris and London, isn't Brussels competing with other cities (Dublin, Munich, Vienna, Geneva and Madrid) or is this capital really unique?
Using its Soul of the City programme and measurement-based polling results, Gallup will assess the desirability of Brussels compared to its rivals and aim to answer the following questions:
• How can European cities, and especially Brussels, build up on the necessary emotional capital in order to keep and attract key workers?
• What are the loyalty and residents' satisfaction drivers?
• Do young and well-educated 'creatives' see cities differently?
• How does Brussels compare with other European cities?
Data from Gallup surveys and the Gallup Soul of the City programme will be presented, to be followed by a Q&A session. A buffet lunch will be available for participants.
The Gallup Soul of the City programme allows cities to measure and track the political, economic and social well-being of a city based upon residents' opinions on its performance in providing positive living and working environments. The goal is to help each city foster economic development and multiculturalism and learn how to better satisfy residents.
