This study explores the implementation of Urban Living Labs (ULLs) in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to promote Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). It adopts a methodology that integrates a mixed approach, combining literature review, validation with experts in the field and analysis of case studies. A structured evaluation tool is proposed based on three constructs: Synergy, Strategy and Pedagogy, which cover the essential characteristics of the three thematic axes: ULLs, ESD and HEIs, through seven indicators. This tool is applied to examine the effective-ness of ULLs in promoting sustainable practices within the university context. The results, vali-dated through experts, exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, demonstrate the reliability and consistency of the evaluative indicators, highlighting the crucial role of ULLs in the integration of sustainability in the curriculum, experiential learning, and the impact social and community. This approach allowed the identification of successful practices and common challenges in the implementation of ULL, as well as the development of a framework of indicators adapted to the specific needs of HEIs. The study concludes by emphasizing the transformative potential of ULLs in HEIs to advance towards sustainable urban transitions, underscoring the need for robust evaluative tools to optimize the contribution of higher education to global sustainable development.

“…The powerful capacity to manage spatial databases of different formats provided by GIS allows the analysis and web-publication of technical parameters, monitoring and damage diagnosis, among other activities (Campiani et al, 2019;Iandelli et al, 2021). These qualities are particularly useful in the field of preventive conservation, considered the most efficient approach for protecting heritage sites (Kutasi & Vidovszky, 2010;van Balen & Vandesande, 2013).…”

Non-destructive testing (NDT) for the diagnosis of heritage buildings has proved to be one of the most sustainable approaches in the field of preventive conservation. Nevertheless, the comprehensive management of NDT information is complex, often resulting in a poorly optimized use of the data. This contribution aims to propose a method for integrating NDT data in a standardized way into simplified digital information models, produced using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This method is applied to the plasterwork located in the Courtyard of the Maidens, which are elements with an enormous historic-artistic value in the Royal Alcazar of Seville (Spain), a significant UNESCO monument. For this purpose, a multi-scale web GIS-based model has integrated the NDT information from the plasterworks, such as ambient conditions, damage mapping, C-Shore Hardness, Superficial Humidity, Infrared thermography (IRT), Digital Image Processing (DIP) and Ground Penetration Radar (GPR). The combined georeferencing of the data from the various measurements and their simultaneous visualization has enabled the detection of vulnerable areas in the complex. The results are easily accessible for managers, and additionally show the analytical potential of the research approach, thereby allowing a quick diagnosis and hierarchization of tasks.
