After analyzing the situations of the four cities during 2000–2009, it was indicated that the LLIIs of Beijing, New York City, Greater London, and Tokyo-to were respectively 38.76, 52.93, 50.95, and 40.65 in 2000. From the aspects of social development, living standard and environmental quality, the livable level integrated index ( LLII) was established in this paper to evaluate the urban livability, while the linear weighted sum was applied as the assessment model. The livability level of Beijing was compared with those of three acknowledged global cities, i.e., New York City, Greater London, and Tokyo-to to clarify whether Beijing has great potential to grow into a global city. A so-called global city that plays an important role in regional and global economic, political and cultural development should perform well in terms of its livability.
