Is it possible to visualize in an immediate and powerful way the indicators that measure the sustainability of cities? While the final answer is rather positive, the process of getting there is quite complex and dense with difficulties as illustrated in this paper. The 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) constitute a fundamental apparatus for measuring and observing Countries based on specific analysis systems, but without an integration with spatial analysis tools as Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Although the potential of the latter in capturing efforts toward sustainable development is recognized by the United Nations (UN), their use in analyzing systems is limited considering data operability issues in terms of spatial and temporal accuracy and proprietary diffusion modes. This paper aims at bridging the gap between urban sustainability analysis and GIS tools, testing the integration of SDG11 indicators and GIS within the Italian context. The research here investigates the applicability and potential of such integration by considering the target 11.1 and 11.3 by focusing on a case study, the City of Turin (Piedmont, Italy). In operational terms, this paper implements an open access WebGIS database providing new spatialized sub-indicators based on the use of open data at the local urban scale. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
