ICRG New index applied to cities

Sustainability Capital Index applied to cities is a new publication of ICRG-UCLM in the prestigious Journal Sustainability, in Open Access. You can read it now.

Abstract

Urban sustainability is a key factor that must be considered at the local level, however, there are few studies that consider sustainability using the triple bottom line approach and apply it to a large number of cities. In this paper, we develop a sustainability city index based on the triple bottom line using an intellectual capital approach that attempts to solve the negative aspects identified in the main indices proposed in the existing literature, such as the use of: subjective weightings, an arithmetic average or index that is not comparable. Here, we have used information available in the Urban Audit database for 2009. The results for 158 cities in 24 European countries show that the cities with the best positions are in the northern European countries. German cities occupied the best positions in the three dimensions of sustainability, albeit with a slightly worse performance in the social dimension. Moreover, the proposal index is consistent, without redundancy among the variables considered in the three dimensions.

ICRG in Portugal

ICRG introduces a job in The 26th Portuguese-Spanish Conference on Scientific Management (Escola Superior de Gestão, of the Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco), entitled "Exploratory analysis on indicators for the index supported knowledge cities: Spain versus Castilla-La Mancha."

Among the goals, we demonstrate that being cities with low income relative to GDP per capita, are located around the city type in some dimensions, and below in others. We found clear correlation between the ability to generate intangible, and the wealth of the territory.
