Abstract
The sustainable urban development agenda calls for city governments worldwide to integrate sustainability goals into their budgetary processes. This article presents the findings of an analysis of the integration of urban environmental sustainability into the budgetary strategy of fourteen Italian metropolitan municipalities. Its purpose is to find out the extent to which they are committed to the promotion of environmentally sustainable cities. A documentary research of both strategic planning documents and municipal budgets was conducted. Correlation and linear regression techniques were used for a quantitative data analysis which indicated a strong positive linear relationship between the amount of resources invested in environmental sustainability and the total availability of budgetary resources. Furthermore, the study found that all Italian metropolitan municipalities are integrating urban environmental sustainability objectives and supporting resources into their budgetary strategy but to a different extent and with a focus on waste. Further efforts are needed for an effective full integration, which is an enduring challenge for local government managers.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
