Survey
Taipei Residents: Are You Truly Happy?
Taipei put up a stunning performance in this year’s City Happiness Survey by CommonWealth Magazine, winning top scores for all objective indicators. However, when it comes to the more subjective opinion poll score, the capital city did not fare so well. The survey results show that, on top of providing residents with a decent livelihood, cities also need to fulfill more spiritual aspects of human life to make their residents happy and proud.
