The ACF Sustainable Cities Index is a snapshot
of the comparative performance of Australia’s 20 largest cities ranked across
three ‘baskets’: Environmental Performance, Quality of Life and Resilience.
Each basket considers a different dimension of urban sustainability.
Produced by the Australian Conservation
Foundation’s Sustainable Australia team, the project methodology is based on
ongoing work by Forum for the Future, a sustainable development charity based
in London that works in partnership with leading businesses and public sector
organisations towards creating an environmentally sustainable and socially just
future in the United Kingdom. The approach has been adapted to suit the unique
Australian urban topography and framed by the public availability of
nationally-consistent data.
Indicators: Air Quality, Ecological Footprint,
Green Building, Water Biodiversity, Health, Density, Subjective Wellbeing,
Transport, Employment, Climate Change, Public Participation, Education,
Household Repayments and Food Production.
