  • Sustainability Indicators and Their Application in Decision-Making Processes for Eastside, Birmingham, UK
    International Conference on Whole Life Urban Sustainability and its Assessment M. Horner, C. Hardcastle, A. Price, J. Bebbington (Eds) Glasgow, 2007 Sustainability Indicators and their Application in Decision-Making Processes for Eastside, Birmingham, UK a, a a a D.V.L. Hunt *, D.R. Lombardi , C.D.F. Rogers , I. Jefferson a,* School of Engineering, Civil Engineering, The University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B152TT, U.K. ABSTRACT Birmingham Eastside, an area of 130 hectares, is located to the eastern side of Birmingham’s city centre. Over a 10 year period this once deprived inner city area is being regenerated through public and private finance estimated at £6 billion. The regeneration scheme is rapidly bringing about changes to the local environment, economy, and the society therein. The key players (e.g. landowners, developers and planners) involved in the decision-making processes for Eastside have the power to see that these changes are brought about in a sustainable manner. For this to happen it is necessary to assess in which direction the development should go, and to provide benchmarks for implementing and measuring sustainable changes along the way. This process can be facilitated by the use of sustainability indicators, of which there are many. This paper outlines the sustainability indicators (e.g. SPeAR, BREEAM, Sustainability Checklists and other benchmarks) that might be used within the decision-making processes for Eastside. In particular, it details those indicators operating at city level, quarter level and then individual development site level. Several case study sites are included (Masshouse, City Park Gate, the Learning and Leisure Quarter, the New Technology Institute – nti, and Warwick Bar).
