1 Transforming Ireland Seminar Series 28 th October Dublin City Council Civic Offices Urban Sustainability Indicators Dr. Ainhoa González Centre for Environment Trinity College Dublin <agonzal@tcd.ie>
2 Urban Sustainability sustainability in urban planning entails current and future protection and improvement of urban environments, through the appropriate delivery and management of land, water, energy, transport, and waste, and safeguarding biodiversity, water and air quality; in addition to the promotion of economic prosperity, social equality and human well being...
3 Sustainability Indicators Setting the Context Pre requisite: requisite: defining clear and achievable sustainability objectives (goals) for the city or plan area Indicators formulated to: Measure progress towards established objectives Evaluate planning alternatives (sustainability performance) Monitor changes derived from plan/policy implementation Monitor fulfillment of set targets/thresholds (legislation or strategies) Inform plan and policy development and decision making Indicators can measure physical, biological, chemical, social and economic parameters Indicators can be quantitative or qualitative Available at EU and national level (e.g. European Environment Outlook EEA, 2005; Ireland s Environment EPA, 2008)
4 Sustainable Development Indicators in Ireland Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Environmental Indicators for Ireland (annually) Indicators for Transport and the Environment (2000) Rural Environmental Indicators (2001) Climate Change: Indicators for Ireland (2002) CSO Measuring Ireland's Progress (censal periods) National and Economic and Social Council National Progress Indicators for Sustainable Economic, Socialand and Environmental Development (2002) Comhar (Sustainable Development Council) Counting what Counts : recommendations on national indicators for SD (2007) Measuring Ireland's Sustainability : overview of Ireland s performance on SD Currently developing a comprehensive and integrated sustainable development indicator (SDI) set for Ireland At the local level, sustainability indicators commonly defined as part of SEA and EIA processes (used to monitor plan implementation) No official set of sustainability indicators adopted No universally applicable indicator set
5 Sample of Common Urban Sustainability Indicators Indicators Specifications ENVIRONMENTAL Concentration of primary Concentration (µg/m 3 ) of particulate matter less than 10 µm (PM 10 ). particulate matter PM 10 Population exposed to Percentage of the urban population potentially exposed to ambient pollutant concentrations air concentrations (µg/m 3 ) of SO 2, NO 2 & PM 10 in excess of the EU above target tvalues SOCIAL Density of development limit it or target t value set for the protection ti of human health. Number of people inhabiting a given urbanized area. Availability of local Percentageofpeople living within 300 metres of a public open area public open areas greater than 5,000 m 2 ECONOMIC Cost of proposed Investment ( ) development Effects of the proposed Number of new employment opportunities created and revenue development on local ( /m 2 ). economy (revenue)
6 What will indicators be used for? Hierarchy of the plan? Scale of urban intervention? Assessment aims? Availability of data? Measurements versus modelling Who will use the indicators? Technical experts and science advisors? Policy makers, plan makers, decision makers? General public and media?
7 Common Methods to Select Indicators Legislative requirements Set thresholds / targets Agreements and common pursuits Expert judgment Specialist input Citi Critical considerations Public consultation Participation and ownership Public concerns
8 Applying Indicators Sets Need to define comparable units Commonly achieved through normalisation (e.g.scale1 to 10) Several mathematical agregation methods Final output: value, graph, map, score or index
9 Presenting Indicators PM 10 concentration [µg/m 3 ] = 28 PM 10 concentration [µg/m 3 ] limit = 50 January July December Alternative A = 2 versus Alternative B = 7 (on a scale of 10) Individual indicator value (max, min, average ) Indicator trend graph (temporal/seasonal variation) Indicator map (spatial variation) Spider diagram (comparable indicators) Score or Index (constrasted performance)
10 Interpreting Indicators Value compared against EU set targets/thresholds Current value compared against baseline value Alternative 1 value compared against Alternative 2 value Values compared over time and space (e.g. different cities) PM10 concentration [µg.m 3 ] PM10 concentration [µg.m 3 ] road excluded 15 General rule: increase/decrease of value from baseline shows improving/worsening condition 10 5
11 FP7 Project BRIDGE Case Studies Varied cultural and planning contexts, geographical scale, issues & scope of assessment
12 Simplified Structure of the BRIDGE Approach Objectives Spatial Data Collation CoP Me eeting/s Indicators Case Study (Plan & Alternatives) DSS Modelling Outputs Sustainability of Planning Proposals (Water, Air, Energy) Impact Assessment of Alternatives
13 Community of Practice in the Development of Objectives and Indicators Stage 1 Gathering perceptions: urban sustainability, planning gp priorities; drivers and pressures Introduction to the method for the development of indicators. Stage 2 Consensus on core sustainability objectives. Review of a preliminary set of targets & indicators. CoP Kick off meeting Second CoP meeting Athens Firenze Gliwice Helsinki London Stage 3 Indicators Workshop Consensus on a final set of common and cityspecific indicators. Indicators Workshop b ll Umbrella CoP (representatives from all case study cities) Set of objectives, criteria and indicators for assessing urban sustainability

16 CoP Results Main Findings Participative approach: addressing stakeholder concerns Lack of consensus: different cities different issues Divergences in sustainability bl objectives Legal requirements prioritised (e.g. EU Directives targets/thresholds) Common versus city specific indicators (need for adaptation) Indicators highly constrained by availability of data (certain environmental indicators omitted and limitations for socio economic indicators) Reuse existing indicators to facilitate monitoring Limitations for the assessment
17 European Green City Index (2009) EU urban indicator measurement projects in Ireland Indicators for environmental performance 30 cities from 30 countries; 30 indicators grouped into 8 categories
18 European Green City Index 1 = Good performance: Brussels, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Stockholm = Bad performance: Bucharest, Instanbul, Sofia, Prague Dublin: 21 (along with ihathens)
