The question would then be which city might be the most valuable, producing the most valuable urbanism and what kind of criteria should be applied to define valuable urbanism. As a matter of fact, several lists ranking cities that judge their supposed qualities already exist. One of the most famous lists of that kind, defining the so called "most liveable cities", is produced for example by the American human resource and related financial services consulting firm Mercer, the Economist Intelligence Unit's or the magazine Monocle.
The new issue of MONU aims to critically analyse the established ranking lists and their criteria that are primarily being used by internationally operating companies to determine where they will open offices or plants and how much they should pay the employees. MONU #13 seeks to reflect on established quality criteria such as safety, education, hygiene, recreation, political-economic stability, and public transportation.
