Abstract

The sustainability has a central role in the urban policies of cities in Europe and worldwide. The United Nations, Europe and Member States suggest guidelines to make cities and human settlements more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. The European Commission upholds initiatives aimed at improving the city’s resilient status and the migrants’ inclusiveness by means of Eco-Resilient Projects for the economic development, community's well-being and safeguarding of urban ecosystems. To reduce the theoretical-practical gap between ERP planning and design in terms of “Resilient-Sustainable-Inclusive” (RSI) city development, the present contribution outlines a framework to arrange the main scientific contributions concerning the sustainability in its three components, and the evaluation of projects in view of urban resilience and social inclusiveness. The proposed framework is aimed at the identification of the most suitable evaluation models based on RSI principles. Following the systematic review, the main methods and evaluation tools are outlined and discussed with respect to resilience, inclusiveness and sustainability targets.
