当前的全球发展给城市系统带来了越来越大的生态、经济和社会压力。城市地区的密度集中了这些压力，特别是在水、能源和粮食方面（即，综合评估方法被用来界定、研究和解决气候变化、水和空气质量、土地和公共卫生挑战等问题，这些问题是“联系”方法的核心。为了实现这些目标，在过去几十年中开发了各种各样的评估工具。然而，大多数这些办法都从国家或最多是区域的角度出发，只是初步考虑到当地的影响。在我们基于Nexus城市指数的综合评估方法中，我们将联合收割机与参与性和会计工具相结合，从自下而上和自上而下的角度把握和操作城市地区的复杂性，以便全面了解城市地区的关系挑战。
Current global developments put increasing ecological, economic and social pressures on urban systems. The density of urban areas concentrates these pressures especially on water, energy and food (i.e., the nexus) resources as if in a ‘burning glass’.The integrated assessment approach is used to frame, study and solve issues such as climate change, water and air quality, land and public health challenges, which are at the core of the nexus approach. To meet these targets, in the last few decades a wide array of assessment tools has been developed. Most of these approaches, however, pursue national or at best regional perspectives and only rudimentarily provide for considerations of local effects. In our integrated assessment approach based on the Nexus City Index we combine an ethical derivation with participatory and accounting tools to grasp and operationalize the complexity of urban areas from a bottom-up and top-down perspective in order to derive a holistic picture of the nexus challenges in urban areas.
