The city of Surprise strives to provide the highest quality of life possible to all residents. As the population of the city increases, more demand will be placed on the city to provide basic services and enhancements to quality of life.

The city currently has emergency plans and procedures in place. With the city growing to over 100,000 people, plans must now be placed within the Surprise General Plan 2030 to provide goals to prevent and respond to disasters.

Community wellness is a rising concern for all cities in the United States. Increases in obesity rates, disabilities, and other medical concerns can be partially addressed by changing communities to influence a healthier environment and one friendlier to those with disabilities.

A primary concern of Surprise residents is education. Primary and secondary education in Surprise is under the jurisdiction of separate public and private school boards. The city will work with all education services to help in providing the best possible primary, secondary, and life long learning environment to its residents.

Quality of life within a city is partially measured by the amenities and arts offered within the city. As the density and population of the city increase, recreation, open space, and art become more important to achieve the high quality of life desired by the residents of the city of Surprise.
