Who is the Sustainable Urban Plan template for?
This sustainable urban plan template is designed for urban planners, city governments, and policymakers who want to create comprehensive strategies for the sustainable development of their cities. With this template, users can easily define clear focus areas, think of objectives, set measurable targets, and implement projects to achieve the desired goals.
1. Define clear examples of your focus areas
Focus areas are the broad topics that you want to address in your sustainable urban plan. Examples of focus areas include land use, transportation, energy, water, and social equity. Each focus area should be broken down into specific objectives that you want to achieve.
2. Think about the objectives that could fall under that focus area
Objectives are the specific goals that you want to accomplish in each of your focus areas. For example, under the focus area of sustainable land use, objectives could include increasing public access to green spaces and promoting public transportation usage.
3. Set measurable targets (KPIs) to tackle the objective
KPIs (key performance indicators) are measurable targets that you set to track the progress of your objectives. For each objective, you should identify initial and target values, as well as the unit of measurement. For example, under the objective of increasing public access to green spaces, the initial value of the KPI could be 2500 acres, the target value could be 5000 acres, and the unit of measurement could be “acres”.
4. Implement related projects to achieve the KPIs
Projects are initiatives that you can take to achieve each of your objectives. For example, to increase public access to green spaces, you could increase funding for parks and open spaces. To increase public transportation usage, you could increase bus and train routes.
