The aim of the Sustainable Eastside Project is to explore how sustainability is addressed in the regeneration decision-making process, and to assess the sustainability performance of completed development schemes in Birmingham Eastside against stated sustainability credentials and aspirations. The incorporation of sustainability into an urban regeneration program, such as Birmingham Eastside, appears best conceptualised as a complex decision-making process carried out by stakeholders who are embedded within the development process. The barriers to and enablers of sustainability (as identified in Phase I of this project) appear at various moments or locations within this complex. The timing and context of decisions are critical (examined in Phase II), and can cause path-dependency which then limits how sustainability features in final development plans. In Phases I & II, the research set in place a framework of cross-disciplinary knowledge and key partnerships; highlighted the importance of coherent integration of the three pillars of sustainability to enable the complexity of achieving urban sustainability to be sufficiently grappled with; gained access to key decision-making forums in Eastside; built strong links with key stakeholders in the area; and firmly integrated into the policy agenda for Eastside. In addition, researchers are working to establish a cross-cutting baseline dataset of developments in Eastside rigorously to measure change over time and the impact of particular decisions on the sustainability of the overall urban regeneration programme. In so doing the foundations for a zonal urban regeneration case study site are being established, augmented by the creation of a study facility, with library and hot desking, now available for researchers from SUE / IEP consortia, to study the application of research to practice. The emerging findings of Phase II have allowed researchers to develop a series of hypotheses about the timing of decisions for sustainability in a range of decision-making forums, and the extent to which path-dependency becomes problematic. In Phase III, a suite of innovative analytical tools will be employed to elucidate further the complexities and interactions of the key elements of the sustainability vision for Eastside. First, a Development Timeline Framework (DTF), a multi-disciplinary tool that makes explicit the path dependency of decisions toward achieving sustainability goals, and the conflicts and synergies between different sustainability objectives, will be used as the basis for further research. Second, a cross-cutting Sustainability Checklist (SC) applied to the DTF will allow each researcher to analyse the impact of timing and context of decisions for each sustainability element (e.g. biodiversity, public participation, space utilisation, local sourcing, and recycling). Third, an Industrial Ecology (IE) analysis will follow particular resources (e.g. water, aggregates) thus highlighting their interdependence, while a Social Impact Assessment (SIA) approach will enable assessment of the socio-cultural aspects of sustainability (not covered by the IE approach). This suite of tools underpins the delivery of the work package aims. This analysis will be undertaken on a case history site basis, using development sites within Eastside that are all currently 'live,' each site representing a different conceptualisation of sustainability. This provides a unique opportunity to evaluate the specific impact of early thinking about sustainability in the planning and design stages, and the impact of this timing and path-dependency on sustainability performance in the final built form.

可持续东区项目的目的是探索在再生决策过程中如何解决可持续性，并评估伯明翰东区完成的开发计划的可持续性绩效，以反对所陈述的可持续性资格和志向。将可持续性纳入城市再生计划，例如伯明翰东区，似乎最能概念化为嵌入在开发过程中的利益相关者进行的复杂决策过程。可持续性的障碍和推动力（如本项目的第一阶段所述）出现在该综合体内的各个时刻或位置。决策的时间和背景至关重要（在第二阶段中检查），并可能导致路径依赖性，从而限制了最终发展计划中的可持续性特征。在第I和II阶段，该研究构成了跨学科知识和关键伙伴关系的框架；强调了将可持续性三大支柱相干整合的重要性，以使实现城市可持续性的复杂性充分努力；获得了东区关键决策论坛的机会；与该地区的主要利益相关者建立了牢固的联系；并牢固地融入了Eastside的政策议程。此外，研究人员正在努力建立一个严格的Eastside开发基线数据集，以衡量随着时间的推移的变化以及特定决策对整体城市再生计划可持续性的影响。为此，正在建立一个Zonal Urban Receneration案例研究网站的基础，并通过创建研究设施的图书馆和热门桌子来增强，现在可用于SUE / IEP联盟的研究人员，以研究研究研究的应用。第二阶段的新兴发现使研究人员能够在一系列决策论坛中建立一系列关于可持续性决策时间的假设，以及路径依赖性问题的程度。在第三阶段中，将采用一系列创新的分析工具来进一步阐明Eastside可持续性愿景的关键要素的复杂性和相互作用。首先，开发时间表框架（DTF）是一种多学科工具，它使决策对实现可持续性目标的路径依赖性以及不同的可持续性目标之间的冲突和协同作用将被用作进一步研究的基础。其次，应用于DTF的横切可持续性清单（SC）将允许每个研究人员分析每个可持续性元素的定时和决策背景的影响（例如，生物多样性，公众参与，太空利用，地方采购和回收）。第三，工业生态学（IE）分析将遵循特定的资源（例如水，聚集体），从而强调了它们的相互依存关系，而社会影响评估（SIA）方法将能够评估可持续性的社会文化方面（IE方法不涵盖）。这套工具为工作包的交付而旨在旨在实现。该分析将以案例历史网站的基础进行，使用目前“ Live”的Eastside的开发站点，每个站点代表可持续性的不同概念化。这提供了一个独特的机会，可以评估在计划和设计阶段中对可持续性的早期思考的具体影响，以及这种时间和路径依赖性对最终建筑形式的可持续性绩效的影响。
