Tracking and evaluation indicators

Tracking and evaluation indicators

The set of tracking and evaluation indicators proposed in the Spanish Urban Agenda are associated with each one of the specific goals for the implementation of the Agenda. These indicators are adapted to the initial situation and the context of each city and urban area, and can be used to establish the level of improvement that is sought through the planned measures and actions.

The aim is to ensure the highest compatibility and coordination with the indicators used in the various urban strategies and projects currently being implemented by Local Authorities in each thematic area linked to the specific goals. They make up a set of comparable and aggregable indicators that will allow Spain to satisfy its reporting requirements under the international Agendas and will also allow an analysis and evaluation at supramunicipal level.

This indicator system will be used to clearly define the results that will be achieved through the application of the Spanish Urban Agenda in terms of improving the quality of life and urban sustainability, and on the preparation of cities to face future challenges.

An Agenda for everyone

The Spanish Urban Agenda was drawn up taking into account the contributions of all the key players in urban development. The long, participatory process lasted over a year and a half and began in June 2017, when a group of independent and multidisciplinary experts was created in order to write a zero draft to provide a basis for starting the work.

The participation was organised around seven different working groups, which in turn led, in some cases, to several sub-groups and even bilateral meetings and contacts.
