Explanation: I think it is as simple as this in an urban planning context.
Here is an example from a draft planning brief for the Borough of Scarborough (UK). "2.2 The building is in a parkland setting at the very heart of Scarborough
Conservation Area. The existing building is Listed which gives rise to both
constraints and challenges but also provides a site for a very high quality of use which will contribute to urban renaissance and reinforce the environmental
qualities of the town."

Explanation: - Accessibility seems to be the right word - see for example the section on principles at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_design
but I haven't found a fixed expression that corresponds to the phrase as a whole.
Level seems more natural in English to me than standards...

Explanation: I'm not an architect or urban planner, but there seems to be a few concepts floating around related to usability, accessibility and a user-centred design (UCD) or user experience (UX) design approach to developing urban spaces. These concepts also pop up in (or are derived from?) literature related to information technology and software design. I'm not sure if there is a direct equivalent for HQU because it is a concept created in the French-language context, but UCD might be the closest thing. Obviously, here you wouldn't be able to say UCD because it doesn't fit the context, hence my suggestion.
