Source abstract
Planning decisions are frequently impeded by an inadequate understanding of complex urban environments, necessitating data-driven and creative strategies. Based on a developed research question on this need, this study proposes a tool founded in the literature on strategic planning, sustainable development, and planning system innovation. The proposed tool depicts the components and interactions within urban ecosystems. The study employs the public transport sector as a case study to demonstrate the operationalization of the tool in Munich, Budapest, and Prague. The demonstration shows how the tool may better inform and support strategic urban planning decisions.
