“…Cost-benefit analysis distinguished itself by defining the overall impacts of a policy or project through a single unit, as aggregate (net) costs and benefits to human well-being, usually through a financial indicator (financial cost-benefit analysis) or as a measure of utility (social cost-benefit analysis). In the case of sustainable development more broadly defined, the social cost-benefit analysis can provide the added value of quantifying and monetising many development aspects that are not directly linked to the market (Atkinson and Mourato 2006;Patassini 2005). However, relying on only one final number can conceal important distributional effects across different stakeholders-who bear the costs and who gain from the benefits-but also across the different areas of sustainable development, for example high benefits to poverty reduction but substantial costs to health.…”

This chapter argues that most efforts to mobilise non-state and subnational actor engagement so far has insufficiently contributed to goal coherence—the balanced implementation of internationally agreed goals. Despite the increased level of attention being given to the polycentric nature of sustainable development and climate governance—especially the role of non-state and subnational actors—the predominant focus of both policy-makers and researchers has been on filling functional gaps, for example closing the global mitigation gap, or financing gaps. As a result, voluntariness and self-organisation in polycentric governance could increase the level of incoherence. Insights on emerging polycentric structures should be combined with tools that map (goal) coherence. The combination of these fields of knowledge could inform supportive policies, for instance in development cooperation to ensure greater coherence in implementing sustainable development priorities.

Most program evaluation efforts concentrate on assessments of program implementation and program outcomes. However, another area of programs that has not received sufficient attention in the literature is evaluating the plan of the program. Since the quality of the plan and planning process can influence program implementation and outcomes, there is a need to expand program evaluation efforts to cover program plans, and thus bridge plan evaluation and program evaluation. This paper utilizes the program evaluation literature to illustrate two approaches to participatory program plan evaluation— ex-ante or proactive and ex-post or reactive—including a conceptual framework that identifies the requirements, barriers, and strategies for evaluating program plans. Concrete examples are provided to illustrate the application of these two approaches.

The Evaluation in the Urban Projects Planning: A Logical-Deductive Model for the Definition of “Warning Areas” in the Esquilino District in the City of Rome (Italy)

et al. 2023

With reference to the current focus on urban redevelopment issue, the evaluation of the projects plays a central role for the definition of effective urban development policies. In the present research, a logical-deductive model for the identification of “warning areas” is proposed. Given an urban area to be renovated, the developed methodological approach starts from the detection of the main existing architectural, historical and environmental emergencies in order to investigate the appreciation of the reference market for the higher or lower proximity to each considered urban pole. Thus, an econometric technique is implemented to examine the influence of each locational factor on selling prices, by assuming the property asset price increase as a proxy of the benefits generated by the urban redevelopment intervention for local communities. Furthermore, the proposed methodology is applied to the Esquilino district in the city of Rome (Italy), for which a relevant urge of urban regeneration is found, to orient the selection phases of the areas that need more attention from public entities.
