· Identifying and documenting current spatial planning policies and goals for the urban areas of Cyprus
· Identifying indicators suitable for measuring the sustainability of small towns, through the analysis of recommended indicators from the EU and international organisations and studies
· Coordinating competent government bodies to promote a mutually agreed integrated indicator scheme and establish compatible monitoring and reporting practices
· Selecting sustainability indicators appropriate for the urban areas of Cyprus through the integration of research findings, competent government body orientations and reporting requirements
· Establishing an appropriate geo-reference scale suitable for each indicator at the metropolitan, municipality, Environmental Area, urban quarter or transportation corridor level
· Obtaining agreement between competent authorities and a wide spectrum of stakeholders on a common set of indicators
· Evaluating the tools available for monitoring and reporting in order to select tools based on their suitability for the required application and ensure compatibility with EU environmental reporting requirements

· Designing the monitoring and reporting system structure so that it can accept and process data in the chosen geo-reference scales
· Incorporating baseline land use data and other fundamental information into the system
· Implementing the system reached at through consensus through a pilot run in an appropriately selected urban area in order to evaluate both the indicators themselves and the environmental reporting process
· Documenting a methodology for the system’s ongoing implementation and training stakeholders in the use, evaluation and interpretation of indicators, as well as in the application of relevant software tools
· Reporting and disseminating the project’s results
