Urban heat mitigation by green and blue infrastructure
The combination of urbanization and global warming leads to urban overheating and compounds the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events due to climate change. Yet, the risk of urban overheating can be mitigated by urban green-blue-grey infrastructure (GBGI), such as parks, wetlands, and engineered greening, which have the potential to effectively reduce summer air temperatures. Despite many reviews, the evidence bases on quantified GBGI co…
The extraordinary life and work of Arata Isozaki (1931 – 2022)
In December 2022, the Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architect, Arata Isozaki, passed away at his home in Okinawa, aged 91. Known as a theorist as well as a practitioner, Isozaki leaves behind a seven-decade career in architecture, with more than 300 designs and 100 built structures on five continents. This article analyzes the extraordinary life and work of the Japanese grandmaster and presents a portrait of his innovative urban design concepts…
Density
Urban density is a term used in urban planning and design to refer to the number of people inhabiting a given urbanized area. Density and compactness are two closely related, but different, criteria relevant for the transformation of cities to become more resilient to climate change. While a high degree of compactness is desirable, too much density can be detrimental to liveability, health, and social well‐being. More compact cities are an advant…
Implementing the Urban Nexus approach for improved resource-efficiency of developing cities in Southeast-Asia
Resource challenges are particularly dominant in fast-expanding cities in the Southeast-Asian region and include inefficient infrastructure systems leading to energy black-outs, urban flooding, lack of waste recycling and increasing emissions and air pollution. This article addresses the development of integrated infrastructure planning approaches as a tool for increased resource efficiency. It aims to link the circular economy discourse with the…
An environmental and social approach in the modern architecture of Brazil
The architecture of Brazil, which has recently been in the focus with major events (World Cup and Olympics) holds a particular place in Latin America's architecture and is known for its bold modernism. One of the most remarkable Brazilian architects in the 20th Century was Italian émigré Lina Bo Bardi (born Rome 1914-died São Paulo 1992). This article first looks at the regional diversity in modern Brazilian architecture and then at the ways in w…
Low carbon districts
New urban design concepts should guide the inclusion and re-introduction of greenery and biodiversity in the urban built environment. Preserving biodiversity in the face of urbanization, habitat fragmentation, environmental degradation and climate change is probably one of the greatest challenges of our time. The integration of trees, shrubs and flora into green spaces and gardens in the city is particularly important in helping to keep the urban…
Low carbon construction systems using prefabricated engineered solid wood panels for urban infill to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Low-to-no carbon city
Can rapid urbanisation ever lead to low carbon cities? The case of Shanghai in comparison to Potsdamer Platz Berlin
Urban growth and waste management optimization towards ‘zero waste city’
From Cities to Districts
In the analysis of the built environment, holistic analysis and hierarchical assessment of sustainability is strongly needed to avoid the isolation of the component parts and fragmented decision making. This paper presents an ongoing research based on the case study with a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis methods. The aim for this paper is to validate Holistic Sustainability Evaluation Framework for Asia-Pacific Regions (HSEFA…
