Performance Metrics for Sustainable Cities is a comprehensive guide that provides an overview of measurement systems and tools to enable communities to assess and benchmark their progress towards smart, intelligent, and sustainable development. It emphasizes the importance of measurement and evaluation for cities and smaller communities, recognizing the need to consider future factors in planning processes. The book spans 14 chapters, exploring existing evaluation mechanisms used for government funding decisions, recognition awards, and developing new measurement systems to evaluate the characteristics of smarter and more sustainable cities. These include broader sustainable goal targets (UN SDGs), green cities, fabrication cities, and compassionate cities.
The book showcases examples of metrics used to measure critical sustainability and liveability concepts for cities, such as trust, engagement, compassion, circular economy, and more. It offers insights into how these metrics can be applied to inform decision-making and drive positive change.
Furthermore, the book concludes with reflections on the feasibility of a holistic system of measurement and the implications of its implementation. This volume is of immense interest to students, researchers, professionals, and stakeholders involved in urban sustainability, planning, smart cities, and sustainable communities. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the current state of measurement and evaluation in the field, as well as exploring innovative approaches for measuring and promoting sustainable development.
