4. Data Analysis & Results
This research has explored the extent to which strategic documents from EU Capitals follow the SUMP guidelines by scrutinizing the technical dossiers from Vienna, Brussels, Budapest, Rome, and Lisbon using descriptive coding to organize the data analyses workload in order to unfold the SUMP 12 Steps, based on the SUMP 32 Activities coverage. In addition, the SUMP SAT has been used to uncover the SUMP Principles complementing, enriching, and wrapping up the sole investigations. All selected case studies have documents structured toward SUD, however, with different approaches from each other. For instance, while Vienna, Brussels, and Lisbon have straightforward documents, Budapest and Rome have developed their SUMPs long-winded. Thus, this chapter firstly shows the findings of the documents from Vienna, secondly Brussels, thirdly Budapest, followed by Rome, and lastly Lisbon. All the analyses have trailed the same structure (Figure 33), first a general overview of their documents, followed by four subsections of the SUM
phases analyses that have underpinned the SUMP 12 Steps and the coverage
of their 32 Activities. Afterward, the fifth and last subsection revealed to what extent the SUMP Principles are present in the selected case studies.
