Use of Indicators in Strategic Environmental Assessments of Urban-Planning Instruments: A Case Study

The monitoring of the impact of cities on sustainable development initiatives has led several nations to adopt the use of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) instrument to enhance environmental management efforts. The use of indicators within this process is essential since they enable auth...
