Urban sustainability indicators are important
instruments for assessing the performance of cities. They include
environmental, economic and social indicators designed to detect progress in
meeting the objectives of sustainability understood in it broadest sense. Many
European cities work with specific sets of indicators which enable them to

European Sustainable Cities and Towns. This report presents this framework and
describes a broad range of indicator measures with a view to developing an
index of urban sustainability performance.
