Livable cities construction has been a common target among all Chinese cities. Based on literature review regarding livable cities, this study decomposed livable cities related concepts gradually including livable cities, cities of harmony and livability, metropolises of harmony and livability, and specifically defined the scientific connotation of world-class metropolis of harmony and livability. Furthermore, the study built an evaluation index system of world-class metropolis of harmony and livability from five dimensions, including city safety, life quality, natural environment, social harmony and open innovation, which can be further subdivided into 14 element layers and 35 specific indicators. At last, an empirical analysis was conducted based on the evaluation index system to provide a better understanding on current construction of world-class metropolis of harmony and livability in Beijing. Our findings can not only enrich the theory of world-class metropolis of harmony and livability but also provide scientific suggestions for the construction＇ practice.
