Se aborda la calidad de vida urbana como objetivo de la gobernanza local en términos de lograr un desarrollo urbano sostenible. Para su evaluación se propone un procedimiento metodológico soportado en el Índice de Calidad de Vida Urbana, que consta de cuatro dimensiones: servicios sociales, económicos, de infraestructura y ambientales para las ciudades de primer orden en Cuba. Este procedimiento fue validado a través de su aplicación experimental en la ciudad de Cienfuegos como caso de estudio representativo de su tipo en Cuba. Se identificaron también los indicadores que permiten evaluar la calidad de vida urbana en esta ciudad, así como la ponderación de los factores constituyentes y los pesos específicos de los índices aplicando el proceso jerárquico analítico.]]></p></abstract>
