| Summary: | The Urban Sustainability Framework (USF)
is structured in two parts, along with annexes that explore
the good practices of specific cities and organizations and
the positive results of their initiatives. Part I:
Understanding and Achieving Urban Sustainability lays out a
process for, andpractical guidance on, a four-stage approach
that includes (1) diagnosis of the city’s currentsituation;
(2) definition of a vision for change and establishment of
priorities; (3) an approachto financing of the plan that
achieves and demonstrates fiscal sustainability; and (4)
monitoring and evaluation. Part II: The GPSC Measuring
Framework builds a common understanding of sustainability
within the urban context through two “enabling” and four
“outcome” dimensions. The enabling dimensions are (1)
governance and integrated urban planning, and (2) fiscal
sustainability. The outcome dimensions are (1) urban
economies, (2) natural environment and resources, (3)
climate action and resilience, and (4) inclusivity and
quality of life. |
