Standardized indicators and the Resilient City Planner: Learning from peer cities & accelerating joint decision making and local actions

(1)

Standardized indicators and the

Resilient City Planner

learning from peer ci8es & accelera8ng joint decision making

and local ac8ons

(2)

How do we perform ?

goals, ac8ons, monitor

If you can't measure it you can't manage it!

(3)

Many city rankings, assessments, how can they help

to improve our vision, policies and ac8ons…. so we

assessed them!

(4)

No8ons for improvement to be used in our city

• Standirdize indicators now apples

and pears

• Indicator evolu8on policy feedback

• Weighing is a black box

• Results in numbers and %,

• no maps

• Use of local poten8als (renewables)

• Flexibility, adapta8on capacity

• Governance

• no footprint, indirect impacts

elsewhere

The Global Ci)es Indicators Facility (GCIF) gave the opportunity to choose peer ci2es and

feedback

(5)

GCIF and its global reach – 260 ci8es worldwide and growing……+ 330

ci8es in China

NOW IN ISO PROCEDURE AS THERE IS A NEED FOR STANDARDIZED

CITY INDICATORS (RESILIENCE = SUST. STILL TO BE WORKED OUT

WITH MEMBERS)

Ci8es and standardized indicators:

• More eﬀec8ve governments and delivery of services

• Interna8onal benchmarks and targets

• Informed decision making for policy makers

• Local benchmarking and planning

• Learning across ci8es

• Leverage for funding and membership status in interna8onal en88es

• Leverage for funding by ci8es with senior levels of government

• Framework for sustainability planning

Not 1 number but standerdized data in a local

scalable GIS transi8on approach

Detailed data at all scales to facilitate

fast and ﬂexible

A map is easier to read than dozens of

excell sheets

A spider diagram combines all the maps+ traﬃc light colors

show which of the 100 theme maps (economic/social/

Follow up in RoAerdam

We see this as an ongoing process, learning from other ci8es,

new insights make it very useful for us.

local data use local poli8cal goals for thresholds…. like to

compare with other ci8es..so use standards framework

New indicators which show poten8als (ecosystem services,

energy poten8als etc)

Localise sustainability and resilience indicators and use them in

transi8on process!!

Project Proposal

• Case study with a few ci3es (1 or 2 US and 1

or 2 European) , Join up with ESRI, GCIF, ISO

other organiza3ons, see if we can use this and

scale it up, make it work and apply for money
