value obtained by the measure in all the plans where it is found, and for all plan
components. The average score ranges from 1.1 (achieved by measures a and g) to
2.4 (measures e). Measures c and f, which are the most frequently found, are also
the ones with the highest scores, together with action e.
3.3.2 How Are EbA Measures Reflected Within Plan
Components?
Figure 3.3 shows in which plan components EbA measures are reflected. About 91%
of the measures are present in the vision and objectives component. This means that,
when a plan includes an EbA measure, this is very often listed as (part of) one of the
objectives that the plan intends to achieve. For example, Paris’s plan objectives
include the development of a multi-year scheme to promote roof gardens. Almost
91% of the EbA measures are addressed in the actions component, meaning that the
plans include specific policies or activities to attain them. For example, Milan’s plan
includes a series of linear greening interventions along canal banks, roads, biking
routes, etc. The information base component of the plans contains data relevant to
EbA measures only in 79% of the cases. That is, 21% of the measures found in the
plans are not supported by any baseline information or analysis. Even when baseline
information is present, this consists mostly of general statements and descriptions.
For example, Berlin’s plan contains descriptions of how energy efficiency of buildings or industry could be usefully combined with projects to support sustainable
local water management systems, by increasing the permeability of soil and planting
