Performance Metrics for Sustainable Cities provides an overview of
measurement systems and tools to enable communities to self-assess
and benchmark their progress along a continuum of smart,
intelligent, and sustainable development. It begins by explaining
the importance of measurement and evaluation for cities and smaller
communities, as well as future factors that will need to be
considered and embedded into planning processes. Across 14
chapters, the book describes existing evaluation mechanisms that
are being used for government funding decisions, awards of
recognition, and new measurement systems to assess what makes a
city smarter and more sustainable, such as broader sustainable goal
targets (UN SDGs), green cities, fabrication cities, and
compassionate cities. It presents examples of metrics used for
important sustainability and liveability concepts for cities such
as how to measure trust, engagement, compassion, circular economy,
and so forth. The book ends with reflections on the feasibility of
a holistic system of measurement and the implications of its
implementation. This volume will be of great interest to students,
researchers, and professionals of urban sustainability, planning,
smart cities, and sustainable communities.
