Quality of Life Indicators and the Crowded Municipal Agenda

Authors

  • Andrew Tucker

Abstract

Local government might play a critical role in supporting culture, but the agenda of small city administrations can be heavily weighted with issues that prohibit a sustained discussion of the arts and quality of life.  This paper describes the municipal council environment and makes four recommendations in support of advocating quality of life issues.
