Abstract

In diesem Beitrag untersuchen wir die nachhaltige Wohlfahrt der 100 größten kreisfreien deutschen Städte, ausgehend von einem umfassenden Wohlfahrtskonzept, das auch nicht-marktbasierende Größen enthält (Smith et al. 2001; Arrow et al. 2003; Alfsen und Greaker 2007; Dasgupta 2009; Arrow et al. 2010). Die Beschränkung auf die kreisfreien Städte ergibt sich vor allem aus dem Ziel der Studie, ausschließlich urbane Räume zu vergleichen, sowie aus dem Problem, dass es für Städte mit angegliederten Kreisen für die meisten Indikatoren keine separaten Daten nur für das eigentliche Stadtgebiet gibt. Bei der Bestimmung der nachhaltigen Wohlfahrt werden insgesamt 49 Einzelindikatoren berücksichtigt, anhand derer die für die nachhaltige Wohlfahrt relevanten Kapitalbestände in den Bereichen Umwelt-, Energie-, Sozial-, Human- und Wirtschaftskapital geschätzt werden. Darüber hinaus ziehen wir für die 50 größten Städte zusätzlich sieben Einzelindikatoren heran, um die Transparenz und das Engagement der Städte im Bereich der nachhaltigen Entwicklung zu messen. Die Ergebnisse zur nachhaltigen Wohlfahrt sowie in der Transparenz- und Engagementkategorie werden für die 50 größten Städte zusammengefasst und bilden den WirtschaftsWoche Sustainable City Indikator (WWSCI).
