ABSTRACT
Thorough enduring efforts on monitoring and evaluation of urban resilience and sustainability have produced a plethora of tools for use by public agencies at all governance levels. This paper investigates with the use of case studies defined in the context of the NBSINFRA research project, the level of implementation of indicators-based monitoring and evaluation for urban resilience and sustainability. Based on a large number of indicators drawn from the respective literature, it examines through data collected from the case studies, the extent of the indicators’ use and the reasons behind any limitations for this use. It also discusses the links between indicators’ selection and several aspects relevant to the public agencies’ mode of practice. Concurrently, the relation between the selection of particular groups of indicators and implemented NbS is investigated. The research’s conclusions highlight aspects for consideration related to indicators-based approaches for monitoring and evaluating urban resilience and sustainability.
