Conventions of the United Nations call for monitoring and scaling urban development across levels of governance and action. Among these are the New Urban Agenda as well as the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals, in short SDGs. The conventions take on the fact that monitoring and scaling is a reality in some part in the same way as these are reference points. They thus contribute in a supranational and national perspective to retrace urban development on an evidence base – possible adjustments in technical and political terms included.
A comprehensive urban monitoring has already been partly in place for some time. Yet, it has not managed so far to activate a broad effect, despite the aforementioned calls of the United Nations. The next IzR volume presents examples from Germany and countries worldwide on different ways of change. The authors describe the methodological definition of a “city”. They also explain which approaches towards multi-level monitoring of urban development failed in everyday life or stood the test of time. Concrete project examples scrutinise the way in which public funding institutions employ databased monitoring systems.
