Abstract

With the Doughnut for Urban Development we are using doughnut economics as a model for urban development and construction for the first time. Doughnut Economics has previously been used with great success globally and for urban strategies ranging from Amsterdam to Copenhagen.

We have developed the Manual to provide the entire industry with a practical tool to evaluate the sustainability of their projects and what they can do to make them even more sustainable. The manual embraces both social and planetary sustainability and incorporates both local and global dimensions.

The Doughnut for Urban Development is an open-source project and all the following resources can be downloaded for free:
- The Manual
- A scientific Appendix providing background for the Manual
- A Database of impact areas used in the manual
- A tool to assess a project's biodiversity impacts throughout its life cycle
