Urban Life is our award-winning panel of 4,000 Urbanites - 18-44, full-time working, regular Metro readers. We are the strongest national press title for this Urbanite audience and so our research reflects the lives and attitudes of these core readers. Since 2002, we’ve studied the opinions, attitudes and lifestyles of urbanites using online surveys and mini-polls.

We dedicate a section of each survey to our advertising clients / agencies. You can take part for free by contacting your Metro sales representative. They will also be able to share relevant results from previous surveys with you.
