The concept of sustainable city development based on a balance of environmental, economic and socio-cultural factors in modern conditions is often replaced by the concept of city competitiveness as autonomous socio-economic systems. The imbalances in the city development and their inequality in terms of the comfort of population living are becoming ever more acute at the junction of the contradictions of these concepts. Comfortability of living in the city is the main competitive advantage of every city, thanks to which it has all the conditions for high-quality reproduction of the most important wealth-human resources, attraction and effective involvement of labor resources in the economic life of the city. It explains the relevance of the study, which proposed a theoretical and methodological justification of the city competitiveness in terms of assessment the comfort of living in it. This approach is original, has a high degree of reliability, the ability to verify the forecast of the competitiveness of a modern city. The results of testing prove the feasibility of its use in the development and scientific justification of strategies for sustainable development of the cities.
