On Eight Structural Conditions Hampering Urban Green Transitions in the EU
The European Green Deal (EGD) aims at driving the green transition in the EU and positions cities as pivotal actors in achieving climate neutrality and environment protection. Despite ambitious policy commitments, significant implementation gaps persist at the local level impeding urban green transitions. This study assesses barriers to the EGD urban implementation by integrating several methods (scoping literature review, expert consultations, a…
What Role for Cities in the EU Green Deal? Analysis of Policy Framework, Interlinkages and Contribution to the 2030 Agenda
Urban environments are at the forefront of the European Union (EU) climate ambitions as envisaged by the European Green Deal (EGD). Cities are also central to delivering most of the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, EU cities face severe implementation challenges in operationalising the EGD and SDGs. This research aims to support EU cities in implementing the EGD by providing a coherent framework, aligning green transitio…
A local analysis of circular economy through a stakeholders' lens
Circular Economy (CE) is being more and more widely embraced as a crucial concept to enable the implementation of sustainability in cities and territories . However, new tools and frameworks are needed to evaluate and monitor the benefits and burdens of CE implementation, adopting integrated and transdisciplinary approaches with available knowledge mainly focusing on specific aspects. Since stakeholders have a crucial role in urban transformation…

The impacts of the Covid-19 lockdowns on the work of academic staff at higher education institutions
The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted the life of millions of people around the world and brought changes in many contexts. In higher education institutions, teaching staff had to quickly adapt their teaching and research practices and revisit learning and student engagement strategies. In this context, this paper aimed to report on how the lockdowns influenced the work and lives of academic staff at universities. The methodology consisted of …

Spatial decision support system for low-carbon sustainable cities development
How to support the low-carbon urban transition through an interdisciplinary framework? An Italian case study
City leaders are advancing low-carbon transitions in urban areas that require robust operational frameworks and innovative processes. This paper presents a novel interdisciplinary framework to support urban decision-makers in the design and implementation of low-carbon strategies based on participatory approaches. Using inductive reasoning, the framework was defined according to three methodological steps: the preliminary analysis, the indicator …
An agenda for future Social Sciences and Humanities research on energy efficiency
Decades of techno-economic energy policymaking and research have meant evidence from the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH)—including critical reflections on what changing a society’s relation to energy (efficiency) even means—have been underutilised. In particular, (i) the SSH have too often been sidelined and/or narrowly pigeonholed by policymakers, funders, and other decision-makers when driving research agendas, and (ii) the setting of SSH-…
The Consumption Footprint as possible indicator for environmental impact evaluation at city level. The case study of Turin (Italy)
Environmental assessment methods have increasingly been adopted to support local transitions toward sustainable urban development and Agenda 2030 implementation at the city level. However, available methods evaluating both direct and indirect (embodied) environmental impacts due to local consumption are still limited and lack a broad coverage of environmental issues. Adopting a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) perspective in current approaches may hel…
Documenting cultural heritage in an INSPIRE-based 3D GIS for risk and vulnerability analysis
Purpose The study, within the Increasing Resilience of Cultural Heritage (ResCult) project, aims to support civil protection to prevent, lessen and mitigate disasters impacts on cultural heritage using a unique standardised-3D geographical information system (GIS), including both heritage and risk and hazard information. Design/methodology/approach A top-down approach, starting from existing standards (an INSPIRE extension integrated with other p…
Quantitative assessment of environmental impacts at the urban scale
This paper explores the consumption-based ecological footprint method and its application aiming at a quantitative assessment of the sustainability of a university campus. The goal is to inform the planning decision-making process and evaluate the socio-technical solutions implemented in local urban settings for reducing energy consumption, decreasing environmental impacts and improving the quality of life of the campus' inhabitants. The case stu…

A new clustering and visualization method to evaluate urban heat energy planning scenarios
A GIS-statistical approach for assessing built environment energy use at urban scale
The role of nearly-zero energy buildings in the transition towards Post-Carbon Cities
Modelling the smart city performance
This paper aims to offer a profound analysis of the interrelations between smart city components connecting the cornerstones of the triple helix. The triple helix model has emerged as a reference framework for the analysis of knowledge-based innovation systems, and relates the multiple and reciprocal relationships between the three main agencies in the process of knowledge creation and capitalization: university, industry and government. This ana…
The IntelCities Community of Practice
The paper examines the IntelCities Community of Practice (CoP) supporting the development of the organization's capacity-building, co-design, monitoring, and evaluation of e-government services. It begins by outlining the IntelCities CoP and goes on to set out the integrated model of electronically enhanced government (e-government) services developed by the CoP to build the capacity to co-design, monitor, and evaluate the IntelCities' e-Learning…
