Sustainable development indicators (SDIs) are important parameters used to quantify sustainability and to help understand the transformations that occur in a city. The city of Anchieta is located in southeastern Brazil, and until the end of 2015 was characterized mainly by industrial production, a situation that changed after 2015 due to the standstill of a metallurgical/steel plant installed in the municipality. This study shows significant changes in the indexes associated with the SDIs of the economic, social, political-institutional and environmental dimensions for the city of Anchieta since 2015, coinciding with the economic impact caused by the standstill of the local industry. The results show the strong dependence of the city on taxes and the source of income generated by the local industrial activity. Prior to the plant standstill at the end of 2015, SDIs that positively changed the sustainability indexes of the municipality were associated with the economic, social and political-institutional dimensions, while the environmental dimension did not perform well, a behavior reversed after 2015. In general, the SDIs for the municipality showed acceptable indexes in 2014 and 2015 but regressed to alert indexes after 2015. Thus, it is observed an imbalance in the indexes of the SDI’s for the dimensions analyzed, which suggests the importance of a restructuring of local public policies, aiming the balance between all dimensions, not just ensuring high performance on some dimensions.

可持续发展指标（SDI）是用于量化可持续性和帮助理解城市中正在发生的转变的重要参数。安基耶塔（Anchieta）市位于巴西东南部，直到2015年底主要以工业生产为特征，由于该市安装的冶金/钢铁厂停产，这种情况在2015年后发生了变化。这项研究显示，自2015年以来，安基埃塔市与经济，社会，政治制度和环境维度的SDI相关的指标发生了显着变化，这与当地行业停滞造成的经济影响相吻合。结果表明，该城市强烈依赖税收和当地工业活动产生的收入来源。
