(Picture of Joy Indices & jll.joyism.live website link) ‘Joy of all citizens’ needs to be the ‘new ambition of states’ for the common good of all. This new ambition is capable of propelling human civilization to the next level of existence and the first step in this direction is assessing City Joy Indices under 12 Critical Categories. Such authentic information will enable governmental agencies and welfare organizations to marshal needed resources and services along with appropriate intervention methodology for rapid-redress, wherever it is urgently required, thus fostering long term sustainability, resilience and inclusive growth in society, putting cities/constituencies on the Road of Joy.
