Street grids for efficient district cooling systems in high-density cities

Shanshan Hsieh, Arno Schlueter

The feasibility of district cooling systems is linked to their efficiency, which is associated with their capital and operational costs. For reasons of ownership and maintenance, the piping network commonly follows the city's street layout. This paper exam ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Analysing and modelling the growth and efficiency of urban transportation infrastructures

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

The total population of the United Kingdom is expected to increase from 63 million in 2011 to 73 million people in 2037. This is an increase by 16% in 26 years, which puts the urban infrastructure, particularly the transportation infrastructure, under grea ...
