AntifragiCity - D2.7 - KPIs and Framework Development

- Pending approval from the European Commission -

The development of the AntifragiCity KPIs’ framework for urban mobility aims to foster environments that thrive amid disruptions, tackling urban degradation, systemic complexities, and limitations in existing assessments lacking adaptability, inclusivity, and holistic scope. Employing a three-stage mixed-methods approach, the research systematically reviewed 2.540 indicators from academic articles, EU projects, and grey literature, complemented by a practitioner survey across eight European cities. Synthesis revealed overlaps in efficiency, safety, sustainability, and equity, but gaps in resilience. Practitioners selected only 31% of indicators, favouring socio-economic and technical metrics over ecological and safety ones, shunning complex antifragility composites due to data constraints. The resulting framework is adaptive, dynamic, and modular, structured via an IPOO model. It integrates the AntifragiCity Ontology for semantic data management and LCA for sustainability assessments. Validated against Sustainable Development Goals, European Green Deal, and Global Plan for Road Safety, it supports data-driven decisions, Mobility Triage, Decision Support Systems, and the SUMA API as an open-source tool for transferable resilience quantification.
