Evaluating Sustainability of Urban Development in Asia
To realize a sustainable urban society, policy makers and other stakeholders are required to make efforts to improve governance, which requires informative indicators. In line with this consideration, in this study, we first provide a systematic overview of existing indicators of sustainable development. Then we establish a dynamic structural equation model (SEM) to capture complex cause–effect relationships and state dependence in urban sustainability indicators. Furthermore, to resolve the conflict between economic and environmental sustainability, we propose an environmental efficiency (EE) model that expands the concept of the data envelopment analysis (DEA) cost-efficiency model. The SEM analysis is based on a longitudinal survey data collected from 46 cities in developed and developing countries in the years of 1960, 1970, 1980 and 1990. It reveals that energy consumption was mainly determined by previous energy consumption behavior and transport supply policies, and that the influence of land use is very limited in the dynamic context. Finally, it is confirmed that the EE model is a useful tool for the establishment of more plausible targets for energy-saving policies.
