Governing green
Dhaka, a rapidly urbanizing megacity, faces significant challenges in sustainable urban development, making Urban Rooftop Farming (URF) a critical practice for fostering urban agricultural growth and environmental sustainability. Despite URF's growing importance, a significant gap exists in understanding the preferred governance frameworks of formal organizations. This study addresses this by investigating the policy preferences, challenges, and …
A Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning and Deep Learning for Rooftop Vegetation Identification
Dhaka, one of the world’s most densely populated megacities, has faced a severe ecological decline, with green cover plummeting from 44.80% in 1975 to approximately 24.50% by 2005. In response, urban rooftop farming has emerged as a vital adaptation strategy to mitigate the urban heat island effect and air pollution. Objective: This study evaluates the transition from “pixels to policy” by testing automated identification methods for URF to suppo…
From social innovation to institutional governance
Urban Rooftop Farming (URF) is a growing grassroots movement in Dhaka, but its institutional oversight is fragmented and uncoordinated. • TThis study on URF analysed 187 YouTube videos to understand farmers' perspectives and diverse goals on improving governance. • Despite various challenges, many rely on informal networks and digital resources (e.g., YouTube) to acquire gardening knowledge. • Farmers from mixed land-use neighbourhoods show stron…
Net-Zero Energy Retrofitting in Perth’s Residential Sector
The study aims to identify optimum retrofitting strategies that mitigate climate change and support Australia’s net-zero emissions target by 2050. Current heating and cooling demands, as well as the energy performance of three stand-alone houses built before 2003, were evaluated to determine optimal retrofitting measures. Based on a comprehensive literature review and physical building surveys and energy simulations using FirstRate5 of three sele…
Integrating urban rooftop farming into city governance in megacities
Street Verge in Transition
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are regarded as the key policy agenda for national, regional, and local government to combat climate change impacts and promote sustainable development. For example, in Perth and Peel metropolitan area, the capital city of Western Australia, there has been a shift of policy setting from that of a sprawling city to a denser city, while maintaining and promoting its ecosystem services and ach…

Prioritization of Local Indicators for the Development of an Age-Friendly City
Due to the rapid transition of growing ageing populations around the world, there is an urgency to change in attitudes, policies and practices at all levels of governance to fulfil the potential of ageing in the 21st century. The World Health Organization (WHO) proposed an age-friendly checklist as a guideline for urban cities. However, the WHO’s age-friendly indicators are generalized and overarching, and need modification by considering local n…
Exploring the Phenomenon of Zero Waste and Future Cities
The evolving phenomenon of zero waste encompasses the theory, practice, and learning of individuals, families, businesses, communities, and government organisations, responding to perceptions of crisis and failure around conventional waste management. The diverse and growing body of international zero waste experience, can be portrayed as both, an entirely new and alternative waste management paradigm, and or, interpreted as overlapping, extendin…

Transforming Urban Dichotomies and Challenges of South Asian Megacities
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is the eleventh largest megacity city in the world, with a population of 18.2 million people living in an area of 1528 km2. This city profile traces the trajectories of its urban development to becoming a megacity and characterizes its emerging challenges due to informal urbanization and climate change impacts. Due to rapid population growth and uncontrolled urbanization, Dhaka currently faces various socio-econo…
