Quality of Life in European Cities 2015
There have been some large changes in attitudes since the 2012 survey.
In five cities, there has been an increase of at least 15 points in the proportion that agree
that the presence of foreigners is good for the city. The highest increases can be seen in
Lefkosia (54%, +19) and Irakleio (65%, +17), indicating a more positive perception of
foreigners in these cities.
On the other hand, there have also been large decreases in the proportion that agree,
with the largest decreases observed in Istanbul (43%, -25) and Ankara (45%, -20).
When comparing the results for the 'city' with those of the overall 'Greater city', it
appears that respondents in the city of Lisboa are significantly more likely to agree than
those from the overall ‘Greater Lisbon’ that the presence of foreigners is good for the city
(88% compared with 78%), as are respondents from the city of Paris compared to those
from the overall ‘Greater Paris’ (78% compared with 71%).
