  1. Comparison across cities – the example of German co-operation Organising co-operation Most large German cities have their own department for statistics and urban research to support urban planning. KOSIS-Verbund – established in 1981 – is an open association of more than 100 European, mainly German municipalities and public institutions promoting the municipal statistical information system. Cities and other public institutions co-operate in self-governing sub-groups to develop statistical tools and organise urban data collections. The KOSIS association for the Urban Audit is one of them. http://www.statistik.nuernberg.de/urban-audit

  2. Urban Audit data collection The Urban Audit is organised by the KOSIS association of UA cities, in co-operation with Federal and State statistics. In Germany, half the city data to be collected and all sub-city data are provided by the cities or estimated by them from state statistics.

  6. Comparison across cities – the example of German co-operation “Coordinated perception survey on the quality of life in DE cities” • Initiated by the KOSIS association of Urban Audit cities • Managed by a sub-group of VDSt, the association of German municipal statisticians, chair of the sub-group: Ulrike Schoenfeld-Nastoll, Oberhausen • Involving 15 cities not included in the EU sample • Conducted by IFAK institute at the same time (Nov.-Dec.2006) as the survey of the EU, with the same questions, same method (telephone interviews), sample size 500 - 1200 per city • DG Regio and the German cities group agreed to exchange the data for combined comparisons. • The cities can make their own analyses, in addition to common evaluations. • Repeated attempts to encourage similar projects in other countries remained without success, so far.

  10. Comparison across cities – the example of German co-operation Conclusions • Nothing can generate awareness for necessary actions better than a demonstration of strengths and weaknesses by comparison. • Co-operation creates comparability and can lead to even more effective surveys. “I feel safe / rather safe” Source: Bureau for Statistics and Urban Research “Living in Nuremberg” 2005
