Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Social Determinants of Health model
PICSA model
Measuring cities’ inclusive prosperity is an important aid to identifying the policies and practices that work, so that other cities can learn from success stories. The PICSA Index therefore aims to meet this need for a comparative analysis of inclusive prosperity in cities across the globe. Inclusive prosperity is a multi-dimensional concept involving spatial factors, social goods, and established measures of economic health. The PICSA Index framework reflects these different elements as follows:
PROSPERITY: GDP per capita and empirical quality of life measures
SOCIAL INCLUSION: Personal safety, access to education, and access to ICT (Internet)
SPATIAL INCLUSION: Affordability of housing, environmental quality, and access to healthcare Learn more about PICSA
