Abstract
The Measuring Living Standards in Cities (MLSC) survey is a new instrument designed to enhance understanding of cities in Africa and support evidence based policy design. The instrument was developed under the World Bank’s Spatial Development of African Cities Program, and was piloted in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and Durban (South Africa) over the course of 2014/15. These geo-referenced surveys provide information on urban living standards at an unprecedented level of granularity: they can be compared across different geographic levels within the cities, and between areas of ‘regular’ and ‘irregular’ settlement patterns. They also respond to the need to increased understanding of specifically ‘urban’ dimensions of quality of living: housing attributes, access to basic services, and commuting patterns, among others.
