Developing a certification system to evaluate the sustainability of urban areas post‑construction : the case of Citylab

• This paper describes the development of Citylab Post‑construction, a certification system for evaluating the sustainability performance of urban areas in a post-construction phase. To facilitate transparency and deliberateness, a framework of important considerations for certification systems were used throughout the development process to clarify benefits and drawbacks of different decisions. The process was characterised by collaboration with experts and practitioners within Swedish urban planning, real estate and construction. Applying the principles proved useful in achieving a transparent and deliberative process, despite conflicts between some principles. The principles may also be applicable in other similar processes. How Citylab Post‑construction will be used and its ability to drive change are questions for future work.
