Are current metrics and tools effective?
“Although planning and evaluation should be two inseparable concepts, there is currently, as indeed three decades ago when Lichfield, Kettle, and Whitbread (1975) raised this question, a deficient integration of evaluation in the [urban] planning process.” - Oliveira and Pinho (2010)
Scheuer and Keoleian (2002), NBI (2008), Olivera and Pinho (2010)
Panelist Questions
1. What is urban sustainability and resiliency and how is it different from existing measurements?
2. How will digital technologies improve, retard, or change sustainability?
3. What are some early examples leveraging distrusted infrastructure and big data for sustainable cities?
4. What is mobility and what role does it have for sustainability and/or resiliency?
