Shanghai was ranked among the top 10 Chinese cities in terms of quality of life in this year's China Economic Life Survey (2020-21).

The survey, which was jointly conducted by CCTV News, National Bureau of Statistics, China Post Corporation, and National School of Development at Peking University, has been held for 15 years.

The annual survey evaluates cities based on three key indicators -- sense of fulfillment, happiness and security -- and 21 secondary indicators such as education and public service.

According to the survey, the satisfaction level of the people with regard to green spaces, life convenience, city image, public culture service, and water and air quality has grown over the past year.
