“…Transposed into the world of urban planning, sustainability science's stress on determining networks and thresholds, underlines the fact that taking into account behaviors, relations and resources flowing across the city are of major importance. A practical example for such an approach is the BRIDGE decision support-system, which aims at connecting analytical tools with sustainability appraisal in different study sites in Europe (Firenze, Helsinki, Gilwice), so as to adapt urban planning interventions on the basis of material flow data and socioeconomic criteria [104,105]. But to do this, the planner should not only aim at obtaining information from multiple sources (such as scientists, stakeholders, practitioners, local communities, etc.…”

“…Supported by the output of previous European projects, such as the Altener Cluster 9 Project [46] and other FP7 projects [47], which identified the poor quality of urban environments and microclimates as one of the main barriers to the implementation of bioclimatic strategies (i.e., passive solar strategies that are climate responsive and human centered) in cities, the current review calls for the development of systemic and comprehensive actions to allow the applicability of those strategies to indoor and outdoor comfort in cities.…”

“…Land-based mitigation complements conventional emissions-based mitigation through addressing the regional to local-scale drivers of climate change that are often the principal driver of ongoing warming trends at these scales [69,73,74]. The land-use planning activities of local/regional governments may therefore provide the most direct regulatory means of managing urban energy water and carbon exchanges towards a sustainable urban metabolism [5], so as to minimize land-based climate forcing.…”

“…In particular, a huge number of studies has been carried out to understand and characterize urban sustainability, where numerous indicators have been proposed in urban research for a better management of cities [3,4]. Many environmental and socioeconomic variables affect urban development and the application of alternative approaches to capture these variables is a challenge [5,6].…”
