It’s rather complicated to select the indicators for international comparisons, to assess the environmental component of life quality in cities and the sustainability of their development. According to the authors, a human development index (Human Development Index) (HDI) developed by the United Nations Development Programme (United Nations Development Program) can be used as an integral assessment of the socio-economic components of life quality in cities. This index reflects the social aspect of sustainable development. HDI is calculated based on three indicators: longevity, as measured by life expectancy at birth; educational attainment; standard of living, as measured on the basis of GDP per capita based on purchasing power parity (PPP). Methodological approaches HDI and the corresponding calculations can be adapted to Russian cities. Results.
