cities in transitioning to urban sustainability. Long description: The infographic represents the EEA\u2019s conceptual model with six observation and analysis lenses to assess the role of cities in urban transitions towards environmental sustainability. The infographic is primarily circular, with three main concentric layers. The outermost layer is labelled \u201ccontext\u201d, the second layer has six text items, each representing one of the six lenses. These are Governance, Knowledge, Finance, Data and Information, Technology, and finally Culture. The inner-most layer is much larger than the other two and is filled with 19 orange circles meant to represent \u201cbuilding blocks\u201d, each with text inside them. In the center of the circle is a piece of text that reads, \"The (sustainable) City\u201d. There are six arrows arranged radially around this text, each pointing at it, with the purpose of implying that the 19 orange circles all contribute to a sustainable city. Around the outside of the circular diagram are six cones pointed towards the center of the circle, which invoke an eye in profile, meant to visually represent the six lenses. They are labelled as follows: Healthy city lens, Circular city lens, low carbon city lens, green city lens, resilient city lens, and inclusive city lens. The text inside the 19 orange building blocks are as follows: 1. collaborative and community-led initiatives; 2. participation and empowerment; 3. efficient material use and zero waste; 4. environmental quality; 5. social and environmental justice; 6. energy efficiency; 7. adaptive capacity; 8. resource efficiency; 9. low energy consumption; 10. public open space; 11. integrated planning; 12. renewable energy; 13. sustainable urban agriculture; 14. ecological multi-functionality; 15. green and blue infrastructure; 16. sustainability mobility; 17. housing planning; 18. built environmental quality; 19. green economy.
