“…Moreover, some studies examined the effect of global warming on the economy, e.g., by estimating lost stock due to the rising sea level [106,107] and the effect of war on stock levels [108,109]. However, those might be better suited under the "urban immune system," which is a unifying framework for urban resilience that expands industrial ecology research on urban risk management [110].…”

Materials are continuously accumulating in the human-built environment since massive amounts of materials are required for building, developing, and maintaining cities. At the end of their life cycles, these materials are considered valuable sources of secondary materials. The increasing construction and demolition waste released from aging stock each year make up the heaviest, most voluminous waste outflow, presenting challenges and opportunities. These material stocks should be utilized and exploited since the reuse and recycling of construction materials would positively impact the natural environment and resource efficiency, leading to sustainable cities within a grander scheme of a circular economy. The exploitation of material stock is known as urban mining. In order to make these materials accessible for future mining, material quantities need to be estimated and extrapolated to regional levels. This demanding task requires a vast knowledge of the existing building stock, which can only be obtained through labor-intensive, time-consuming methodologies or new technologies, such as building information modeling (BIM), geographic information systems (GISs), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning. This review paper gives a general overview of the literature body and tracks the evolution of this research field.

“…Especially in infrastructure issues, workers who work directly on the materials are relevant sources of information and in this sense more valid sources of information than, for example, "system providers" and yet less often the subject of studies (Wallsten 2015). In this sense, Bristow and Mohareb (2019) stress the importance of urban political ecology (UPE), as it goes beyond the quantitative coverage of an MFA and analyses drivers and impacts in greater depth.…”

“…Cities have to set up responsibility processes that reorganize the spheres of accountability for the systemic and translocal consequences of urban sustainability proposals [34][35][36][37][38][39][40], generate significant sustainability issues while representing robust environments for sustainability transformation, which are essential areas for the development of sustainability transitions, and encounter escalating risks from various sources, undertaking multifarious strategies to come through, surmount, and adjust to shocks and stresses. Urban sustainability assessment represents a main difficult task as a result of the encompassed integrative features that make the appraisal operation intricate and impede the performance of available monitoring tools.…”

In this systematic review, I cumulate previous research findings indicating that sustainable urbanism and networked public governance can be instrumental in carrying out extensive sustainability and resilience objectives through steering urban transformations in the direction of sustainability and resilience. Urban analytics data infrastructure, multicriteria sustainability evaluation, and sustainable performance assessment display the intricate network dynamics operational within cities, impacting urban resilience decision-making processes and leading to equitable and sustainable urban development. Throughout July 2020, I conducted a quantitative literature review of the Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases, search terms including “sustainable urban planning,” “urban sustainability assessment,” “sustainable urban governance/urban sustainability governance,” “sustainable urban development,” “sustainable/sustainability behavior,” and “environmental performance.” As I focused on research published exclusively in the past two years, only 301 various types of articles met the eligibility criteria. By removing those whose results were inconclusive, unconfirmed by replication, or too general, and because of space constraints, I selected 153, mainly empirical, sources. Future research should investigate whether the assessment of environmental sustainability performance of heterogeneous urban configurations by shared sustainability policymaking through spatial green infrastructure planning and regulations articulate sustainable urban design and governance for the development of innovative performance.
