Neighborhood Life Survey
Make you opinion count! What is our neighborhood like? How does it affect your well-being? Weigh in on neighborhood infrastructure, leisure activities, and household amenities at https://umn.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8ivHeXl3IzKqFsp
This survey is being conducted by the City of Minneapolis in partnership with the University of Minnesota’s Sustainable Healthy Cities Network to identify how infrastructures and amenities in our homes and neighborhoods shape our quality of life and well-being and how we think and feel about our life. Results of this survey will be posted online and shared with your local government to build better cities through better neighborhoods.
