هناك عدة مؤشرات يمكن قياس الاستدامه من خلالها ولعل من ابرزها المؤشرات ال 17 التي اقرتها منظمة الامم المتحده ، وفيما يتعلق بكيفية تطبيق مؤشرات الاستدامه على المدينه فيمكن ذلك من خلال عدة محاور منها استدامة السكن وادارة الارض والخدمات والمناطق الخضراء بما يعزز من جودة الحياة في المدينه

As a planner I would use GIS and remote sensing analysis on different planning scales.

Good luck

In my opinion, we can measure sustainability by minimising:

- energy consumption

- CO2 emissions

- land consumption/use

- water consumption

Indicators can be based on area of dwellings/buildings/cities but it would be more appropriate to show them per capita/citizen.

To analyse them at a city scale, one needs to have access to city databases.

Good evening,

The UN Department for Economic and Social Affairs has set up the 17th Sustainable Development Goals (https://sdgs.un.org/goals) and the global targets to achieve them. Normally Governments are expected to measure them. One would assume that to measure them on national level that they have to be measured on regional and local level too. Therefore, these goals could be considered to be the the starting point for measuring and comparing the level of sustainable development / sustainability at all levels.

Assessing the economic viability of sustainable practices through cost-benefit analyses (CBA), return on investment (ROI) calculations, or sustainability-focused economic modeling. Assessing the economic viability of sustainable practices through CBA, ROI, and economic modeling provides insights that can guide decision-making; this approach (Sustainability-Focused Economic Modeling) uses advanced modeling techniques to account for complex interactions between the economy, environment, and social systems. It can include simulation models, input-output models, or system dynamics models to understand the broader impacts of sustainability investments. Organizations can leverage these methodologies to clearly communicate the financial implications of sustainability initiatives to stakeholders and to make robust business cases for investments in sustainable practices.
