Abstract
This paper aims to provide a framework for policy-makers and transportation and urban design professionals to evaluate alternative urban plans and infrastructure design, allowing them to select a set of locally relevant indicators to help assess scenarios considering sustainable development and overall system performance improvement in line with specific project goals. Using methods of systematic review, content analysis, multi-criteria analysis, and expert consultation, a three-level goal system is proposed, leading to the generation of 64 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), both qualitative and quantitative, and an indicator set of 227 items. To allow stakeholders to apply their own set of indicators, the approaches and tools of measuring these indicators as well as the ways of using this indicator set are presented to assist decision-makers in evaluating and choosing optimal plans and designs.
Highlights
The set of United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), SDG Goal 11 to “make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”, provide structure and objectives for a more sustainable future for all, anywhere on the planet [1]
After an overview of their titles and abstracts, 57 relevant documents were selected for in-depth reading. In addition to these sources, we reviewed the references they cited and the references in which they were mentioned to reach literature not captured from the Web of Science and Scopus keyword searches but that is influential in the topics of sustainability assessment, liveability assessment, public space quality evaluation, and community severance
This section describes the outcomes of the process described above, first presenting the goal system, the longlist of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and the selected indicator system for integrated and sustainable transportation infrastructure and urban spaces design
Summary
The set of United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), SDG Goal 11 to “make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”, provide structure and objectives for a more sustainable future for all, anywhere on the planet [1]. To link these overarching goals to local decision-making processes, clear, project-oriented goals and operational objectives are needed. In transport and urban planning discourses, goals and evaluation are paramount steps in the decision-making process. The selection of relevant indicators to help with this evaluation is, in the end, the responsibility of the key problem owner, and it is essential that the selected indicators are selected through a structured and transparent process
