Abstract
In this systematic review, I cumulate previous research findings indicating that sustainable urbanism and networked public governance can be instrumental in carrying out extensive sustainability and resilience objectives through steering urban transformations in the direction of sustainability and resilience. Urban analytics data infrastructure, multicriteria sustainability evaluation, and sustainable performance assessment display the intricate network dynamics operational within cities, impacting urban resilience decision-making processes and leading to equitable and sustainable urban development. Throughout July 2020, I conducted a quantitative literature review of the Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases, search terms including “sustainable urban planning,” “urban sustainability assessment,” “sustainable urban governance/urban sustainability governance,” “sustainable urban development,” “sustainable/sustainability behavior,” and “environmental performance.” As I focused on research published exclusively in the past two years, only 301 various types of articles met the eligibility criteria. By removing those whose results were inconclusive, unconfirmed by replication, or too general, and because of space constraints, I selected 153, mainly empirical, sources. Future research should investigate whether the assessment of environmental sustainability performance of heterogeneous urban configurations by shared sustainability policymaking through spatial green infrastructure planning and regulations articulate sustainable urban design and governance for the development of innovative performance.
Highlights
The aim of this article is to review the existing literature on sustainability behavior and environmental performance of urban systems and synthesize the insights it provides on networked public governance
Carrying out coherent resource management is imperative for urban sustainability behavior
Decision-making processes are instrumental in enhancing the sustainability behavior of public governance
Summary
The aim of this article is to review the existing literature on sustainability behavior and environmental performance of urban systems and synthesize the insights it provides on networked public governance. By debating the most recent (2019–2020) and relevant (Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest) sources, I have tried to prove that real-time urban sustainability assessment tools in environmentally sustainable urban planning and design, by use of sensor network data, may evaluate sustainability-conscious behaviors through sustainability-oriented performance approaches and patterns of urban development processes. My main objective is to show that urban analytics data infrastructure, multicriteria sustainability evaluation, and sustainable performance assessment display the intricate network dynamics operational within cities, impacting urban resilience decision-making processes and leading to equitable and sustainable urban development. I contribute to the literature on urban sustainability governance by explaining how custom-designed sustainability-rating tools/indicators and sustainable urban development planning and dynamics can shape environmentally responsible behavior, taking into account the social and spatial structure of the cities
