Full Description

What is the purpose of a government if not to enhance the well-being of the citizens?

Measuring how people feel:

        · Is vital for Policy Makers to know the impact of their past decisions and to improve the future ones.

        · Show citizens that you care about them.

The City of Somerville is doing it!

Somerville is the first city in the U.S. to survey its residents on their happiness and well-being

Mayor Joe Curtatone said: “The happiness survey is a way for us to get hard data on how well we are delivering on our values.”

It may be that it is simply too early to reach certain policy conclusions from the happiness data. Somerville has taken the important first step to begin tracking its residents’ wellbeing, but there are still conversations to be had about what this data ultimately means for city government.

What if we measure how citizens feel at any time and in any place?

We could examine and improve:

        · Quality of public spaces

        · Customer satisfaction with city services

        · Vibrancy, innovation and economical development

We believe that, by giving people the power to express how they feel at any time and in any place, we can improve the city we live in.
