Format:: Guide

Target population:: Local administrations and citizen associations

Objetive:: Ensure that urban development projects are undertaken in an equitable manner, considering values such as environmental justice and affordability for communities, especially for disadvantaged groups.

Methodology:

The tool consists of establishing a series of principles linked to 6 themes: habitability, community power, housing, economic development, environmental quality and transport.

Depending on the project and its context, a value will be given in a consensual way to each of these themes that reflects the importance given to it, and a score will be applied to the project in that area.

This is done in the same way for the 6 themes, to obtain a final score for the project on which to reflect or reformulate.

Opportunities and limitations:

The tool is strongly based on the consensus of the group that implements it to establish a common vision, focus on certain topics, design assessment scales, and decide what steps to take, depending on the final result.

It provides ready-made questionnaires that are easy to read and interpret.

It is a flexible tool that can be adapted to different projects and contexts but requires comprehensive implementation, from the conception of the project.

Indicators:

Distance (m) from housing to basic services.
Percentage of dwellings that can accommodate large families (3 or 4 bedrooms).
Local trade support mechanisms.
Increasing opportunities for public transport.
Improving access to green spaces.
Involvement of minority groups in the participatory process.
Meeting climate change resilience criteria.
