The Community Vitality Initiative (CVI) measures a community's quality of life. Citizens and community leaders are asked about everything from employment to environmental health, from support for the arts to safety on the streets, from public transit to pre-natal care. Using a system of online surveys, questionnaires, live meetings, focus groups, and statistics, CIEL helps the community build a plan and concrete actions to attract new citizens, retain its existing ones, and inspire them all. The CIEL team developed the CVI by researching what makes communities vital, dynamic, healthy, and sustainable, examining more than 60 studies from around the world.
