  • Urban heat stress and health: A systematic literature review of dimensions and indicators for planning and design

    Open AccessDoruntina Zendeli, Nicola Colaninno et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2026References: 6

    In recent years, extreme temperatures have gained significant attention in urban studies, leading to the search for various adaptation and mitigation measures. While many studies employ heat-related indicators to assess climate-related health impacts, a better understanding of the multi-dimensional nature of these indicators can enhance their integration into urban policies, planning and design. This research aims to examine various dimensions of…

  • From heatwaves to ‘healthwaves’: A spatial study on the impact of urban heat on cardiovascular and respiratory emergency calls in the city of Milan

    Open AccessDoruntina Zendeli, Nicola Colaninno et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2025

    Heatwaves in Milan are related with an increase in respiratory and CVD emergencies. • UTCI and emergency calls are used to identify vulnerable areas. • Rates of health emergencies are positively correlated with high UTCI. • Elderly and low-income communities face higher heat-related health risks. • Findings offer insights for climate-proof urban planning and public health domain. In recent decades, the increasing frequency, intensity, and duratio…

  • Urban green spaces, self-rated air pollution and health: A sensitivity analysis of green space characteristics and proximity in four European cities

    Open AccessMarcel Cardinali, M A Beenackers et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2024Cited by: 2References: 3

    Exploring the influence of green space characteristics and proximity on health via air pollution mitigation, our study analysed data from 1,365 participants across Porto, Nantes, Sofia, and Høje-Taastrup. Utilizing OpenStreetMap and the AID-PRIGSHARE tool, we generated nine green space indicators around residential addresses at 15 distances, ranging from 100m to 1500m. We performed a mediation analysis for these 135 green space variables and reve…

  • A bottom‐up ontology‐based approach to monitor circular economy: Aligning user expectations, tools, data and theory

    Open AccessRusne Sileryte, Alexander Wandl et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2023

    With circular economy being high on governmental agendas, there is an increasing request from governing bodies for circularity measurements. Yet, currently existing macro‐level monitoring frameworks are widely criticized for not being able to inform the decision‐making. The criticism includes, among others, a lack of consensus on terminologies and definitions among scholars, politicians, and practitioners, a lack of supporting data and tools and,…

  • A Quantitative Morphological Method for Mapping Local Climate Types

    Open AccessDaniela Maiullari, Marjolein Van Esch et al.ARTICLEUrban Planning2021

    Morphological characteristics of cities significantly influence urban heat island intensities and thermal responses to heat waves. Form attributes such as density, compactness, and vegetation cover are commonly used to analyse the impact of urban morphology on overheating processes. However, the use of abstract large-scale classifications hinders a full understanding of the thermal trade-off between single buildings and their immediate surroundin…

  • The two and half minute walk: Fast charging of electric vehicles and the economic value of walkability

    Open AccessBardia Mashhoodi, Arjan Van Timmeren et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning B Urban…2021

    The number of electric vehicles in the Netherlands has sharply increased over the past decade. This has caused a need for the allocation of a substantial amount of new electric vehicle chargers around the country, which in turn has been acknowledged by a variety of legislative bodies. However, the approach of how these new charging infrastructures need to be spatially distributed has yet to be decided, including the distance that an electric vehi…

  • Land surface temperature and households’ energy consumption: Who is affected and where

    Open AccessBardia Mashhoodi, Dominic Stead et al.ARTICLEApplied Geography2020

  • Local and national determinants of household energy consumption in the Netherlands

    Open AccessBardia Mashhoodi, Dominic Stead et al.ARTICLEGeoJournal2019References: 5

    The policies of Third National Energy Efficiency Action Plan for the Netherlands, regarding the reduction of household energy consumption (HEC), were made based on the unwritten presumption that the stimuli of HEC are similar in each and every location of the Netherlands, and that it therefore is possible to formulate an identical set of incentives and regulations that are optimally suitable in all the locations of the country. The objective of t…

  • Global urbanization and food production in direct competition for land: Leverage places to mitigate impacts on SDG2 and on the Earth System

    Open AccessStephan Barthel, Christian Isendahl et al.ARTICLEThe Anthropocene Review2019Cited by: 11References: 132

    Global urbanization and food production are in direct competition for land. This paper carries out a critical review of how displacing crop production from urban and peri-urban land to other areas - because of issues related to soil quality - will demand a substantially larger proportion of the Earth's terrestrial land surface than the surface area lost to urban encroachment. Such relationships may trigger further distancing effects and unfair so…
