Abstract
In the surge of urbanization, cities face growing challenges in achieving resilience, equity, and sustainability. The temporary use of leftover spaces offers a potential solution, presenting new opportunities for sustainable development. However, the absence of comprehensive, measurable sustainability assessment (SA) tools for temporary use limits the optimization of these strategies. This paper addresses this gap by developing SA indicators tailored to a specific type of temporary use in the Chinese context. Using the 2023 "Floating Lab" project in Shanghai as a case study, this research creates an SA tool for these temporary uses
The study is structured into two main sections. First, the initial framework is introduced, with indicators pre-selected based on a literature review. Feedback from 16 expert groups across four disciplines is then synthesized to guide revisions. In the final section, the revised framework is presented with expert insights. This framework aims to provide a reference for developing
