The article describes the process of creating the present methodology of forming the integral urban environment quality index, according to which, in the past three years, the Ministry of Construction, Housing and Utilities of the Russian Federation has been assessing the level of living comfort in Russian cities. This methodology has proven to be an effective tool for identifying strengths and weaknesses of city development, helping the authorities to introduce an integrated approach to planning this development. Analysis of the index structure showed the necessity to include in this methodology a number of the street crime indicators for evaluating the safety of citizens in the daytime and at night. It was concluded, that the list of the official data sources for calculating the urban environment quality index should be supplemented by the results of the independent public opinion polls.
