Housing, street and health: a new systemic research framework

Paola Viganò, Stéphane Joost, Dusan Licina, Idris Guessous, Anna Pagani, Valentin Daniel Maurice Bourdon, Mathias Lerch, Catarina Wall Gago, Derek Pierre Christie

As the world’s population grows in cities, urban dwellers spend a large amount of time inside their home, making housing health ever more important. Critical for residents’ health, the interactions between indoor residential environments and outdoor enviro ...

A solar-based sustainable urban design: The effects of city-scale street-canyon geometry on solar access in Geneva, Switzerland

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Dan Assouline, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

Buildings commonly have the largest share in the energy demand of a country, but they also offer sites for the generation of solar energy. Here we develop a methodology to analyse the effects of street-canyon geometries on the solar access of street surfac ...

Shops as the bricks and mortar of place identity

Maxime Carl Felder

“Think of a city and what comes to mind?” asks Jane Jacobs (1961: 29). “Its streets. If a city’s streets look interesting, the city looks interesting; if they look dull, the city looks dull.” In our opinion, Jacobs should have answered: its commercial stre ...

How street canyon configuration control the accessibility of solar energy potential: Implication for urban design

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Dan Assouline, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Govinda Upadhyay

While the effects of street-canyon configuration on temperature, wind speed and direction, and air quality have received much attention, its impact on solar energy potential has not been much studied. This paper focuses on two aspects of the street-canyon ...

Modeling and optimization of multimodal urban networks with limited parking and dynamic pricing

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng

Cruising-for-parking constraints mobility in urban networks. Car-users may have to cruise for on-street parking before reaching their destinations. The accessibility and the cost of parking significantly influence people's travel behavior (such as mode cho ...

CO2 emissions in relation to street-network configuration and city size

Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

The street-network efficiency of tens of British cities in relation to transport fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are analyzed. The results show a strong linear positive correlation between length entropy and average street length, and a negative correla ...

Quantitative analysis of structural changes during rapid urban growth

Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

New quantitative measures of urban structural changes are introduced and applied to the fast-growing city of Kerman, Iran. The results of 20,802 street measurements show that the main street orientations are orthogonal, both in the old inner part and in th ...

Multiplex networks in metropolitan areas: generic features and local effects

Emanuele Strano, Marc Barthélemy

Most large cities are spanned by more than one transportation system. These different modes of transport have usually been studied separately: it is however important to understand the impact on urban systems of coupling different modes and we report in th ...
