An integrated vulnerability-resilience framework for climate risk assessment in depopulating urban landscapes
Coupled vulnerability and resilience shaped distinct neighborhood risk profiles. • Exposure is the primary driver of vulnerability in high-risk census tracts. • Strengthening disaster response capacity is most effective for high-risk areas. • A sensitivity analysis identifies actionable risk factors for targeted adaptation. • Impervious surface reduction is a key intervention for mitigating hazard exposure. Climate-related hazards are intensifyin…

Applying Ecological Principles of Design for Restoring Brownfields
Background and objective: Failing industrial cities have left behind a legacy of social, economic, and environmental decline. The aftermath includes cities that have experienced departing residents, decaying infrastructure, and urban blight. Although there are many contributing factors to degradation, for cities such as Detroit, MI, much of its infrastructure has become vacant, and due to previous heavy industrial use, some of the lots have turne…
The Role of Visual Communication in Community Participation on Developing A Climate Adaptation Plan
Background and objective: Community participation or participatory planning are two terms used interchangeably that aim to incorporate community residents' opinions in the planning process to get the maximum benefit. This approach aims to gather stakeholders and engage them in a meaningful conversation to come to a decision representing the stake for everyone involved. This study focuses on the impacts of photorealistic visualization on community…
The Reclamation of an Industrial Site and Design Impacts on Environmental, Social, and Economic Resilience
Background and objective The industrial crisis in Michigan, USA calls for the redevelopment of abandoned industrial sites into functioning public spaces. Neglected spaces have negative impacts on the surrounding communities, promoting aesthetic, safety, economic, and environmental issues. The purpose of this study was to explore and discuss the possible redevelopment of an underused site, with particular focus on its industrial site elements; qua…
The Role of the Campus Outdoor Environment on University Student Mental Health
Background and objective The mental health and wellness of university students has been a pressing concern in recent years in the US and is becoming an even larger issue due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Numerous studies have supported the idea that the natural environment can have a positive impact on mental health, but only a few studies focus on the role of university outdoor campus environments on student’s mental health. The main purpose of this…
The effect of extremely low sky view factor on land surface temperatures in urban residential areas
Improving urban thermal environments by analysing sensible heat flux patterns in zoning districts
Developing A Revitalization Planning and Design Guideline for Enhancing Land Use Performance of a Shrinking City
Background and objective: Land vacancy is a persistent issue in most urban areas in the United States, yet few case studies have examined how vacant lots are used and the functions they serve in local communities. The purposes of this study were to provide a new revitalization planning and design proposal for the Durant-Tuuri-Mott (DTM) target area in the shrinking city of Flint, MI, USA, and to assess the final planning and design guideline thro…
How effective are drainage systems in mitigating flood losses
Neighborhood decline and mixed land uses
The influence of urban landscape spatial patterns on single-family housing prices
Many empirical studies assessing the economic benefits of urban green space have continually documented that green space tends to increase both value and sale price of nearby residential properties. Previous studies, however, have not fully captured the quality of neighborhood level landscape spatial patterns on housing prices. To fill this literature gap, this study examined the association between landscape spatial patterns of urban green space…
Sidewalk Landscape Structure and Thermal Conditions for Child and Adult Pedestrians
Walking is being promoted for health and transportation purposes across all climatic regions in the US and beyond. Despite this, an uncomfortable microclimate condition along sidewalks is one of the major deterrents of walking, and more empirical research is needed to determine the risks of heat exposure to pedestrians while walking. This study examined the effect of street trees and grass along sidewalks on air temperatures. A series of thermal …
The influence of small green space type and structure at the street level on urban heat island mitigation
Urban Natural Environments, Obesity, and Health-Related Quality of Life among Hispanic Children Living in Inner-City Neighborhoods
Although a substantial body of literature has provided evidence supporting the positive effects of natural environments on well-being, little has been known about the specific spatial patterns of urban nature in promoting health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among children. This study assessed the association that the urban natural environment measured by landscape spatial patterns may have with obesity and HRQOL among Hispanic children. Ninety…
Neighborhood Landscape Spatial Patterns and Land Surface Temperature
Rapid urbanization has accelerated land use and land cover changes, and generated the urban heat island effect (UHI). Previous studies have reported positive effects of neighborhood landscapes on mitigating urban surface temperatures. However, the influence of neighborhood landscape spatial patterns on enhancing cooling effects has not yet been fully investigated. The main objective of this study was to assess the relationships between neighborho…
Elasticity and urban vacancy
Assessing Benefits of Neighborhood Walkability to Single-Family Property Values
This article investigates the impact of neighborhood walkability, measured by Street Smart Walk Score and sidewalk density, on property values by analyzing the 2010–2012 single-family home sale transactions in Austin, Texas. The Cliff-Ord spatial hedonic model (also known as the General Spatial Model, or SAC) is used to control for spatial autocorrelation effects. Results show that improving walkability through increased access to amenities in ca…
Hispanic maternal and children's perceptions of neighborhood safety related to walking and cycling
This study examined neighborhood safety as perceived by children (mean age=10 years) and their mothers, and its association with children's physical activity. For all eight safety items examined, children perceived their environment as less dangerous than mothers (p 0.10). The maternal perception model explained the highest percentage of variance (R(2)=0.26), compared to the children's perception model (R(2)=0.22). Findings suggest that future st…
