The Abhu Dhabi Urban Planning Council has just launched a CitySense Sustainable Indicators Initiative aimed at measuring a city’s performance against sustainability benchmarks, and also fostering collaboration on best practices between cities. CitySense will geographically catalog information on economic, social, cultural and environmental details for each city and its respective neighborhoods. The web-based system was unveiled during the World Economic Forum meeting in Marrakesh, Morocco this week.
This new system is meant to promote greater transparency with its dashboard approach of information sharing between city officials and citizens to share the cities’ performance. The initiative ties in with the World Economic Forum’s World Sustainable Capitals initiative which is a result-oriented project, focusing on concrete recommendations and measurable results.
More details on the information and analysis that will be possible with this system can be accessed through the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council.
