Abstract

Este documento aplica un método diseñado por el BID para el monitoreo de la calidad urbana que se basa en la combinación de dos enfoques: precios hedónicos y satisfacción con la vida. Esta combinación permite efectuar una valoración de los bienes públicos locales tanto desde el punto de vista del mercado como de la utilidad. A diferencia de otros sistemas de monitoreo, éste se concentra en pocas dimensiones (aquellas relacionadas con la habitabilidad del entorno urbano) y ofrece información valiosa para el diseño y priorización de políticas públicas. Los resultados de la aplicación del método para la ciudad de Manizales, Colombia revelan que, aunque para algunos bienes públicos la valoración que efectúa el mercado resulta suficiente, para otros existe una valoración adicional representada en el bienestar que les aportan a los habitantes y que el mercado no logra capturar.
