Resumen

El propósito de este artículo es mostrar la importancia de la felicidad urbana como derecho a la salud social y cuáles son los indicadores internacionales que los países deben cumplir respecto a ella. La pregunta de investigación fue la siguiente: ¿Cómo lograr ciudades más felices? Para responder esta pregunta, desde el método deductivo, se llevó a cabo una búsqueda bibliográfica sobre el concepto de felicidad urbana y los indicadores más relevantes relacionados con salud, educación y gobernanza que han sido propuestos desde 1979 por diferentes países y centros de investigación. De manera similar, se hizo un conteo de los países contemporáneos con los mejores indicadores de felicidad urbana y las razones detrás de ello. Finalmente, se mostrarán algunos casos ejemplares de países con mejores índices de felicidad intersubjetivos. El artículo concluye con la importancia de obtener economías más sociales y capaces de integrar el crecimiento de la producción (crecimiento económico) en los países desarrollados en conjunto con bienestar general y el disfrute de los valores públicos.
