In part stimulated by the computer game industry, reasonable progress has been made in the dynamic modelling of urban growth and land use change. However, sustainability considerations in this work remain to be addressed. Yet the environmental impact of ci ...
Created ex nihilo prior to independence (1958), Nouakchott is both a city of uncontrolled urban growth (especially given the combined influence of the end of nomadic life and the great draughts) and the seat of all trappings of power, designed to symbolise ...
The Building Research & Information special issue ‘Developing Theories of the Built Environment’ (volume 36(3), 2008) explores the epistemology that underpins the creation of theory. It broadens the perspectives that typically escape the cone of vision of ...
This thesis is concerned with the practical results of the use of electronic tools as a means of gathering public input for urban development projects. Of particular interest was the capacity of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to improve ...
What are the impacts of a re-designed public transportation system in a city where social differences are heavily manifested in spatial separation, i.e. where exist certain inequalities concerning the access to daily activities and participation in urban l ...
Linkage between the urbanisation process, urban models, social practices, mutations of the public space, and management and planning approaches of cities in the South was studied. Critical understanding of traditional urban instruments and ways to create i ...
This paper presents the importance of microstructural studies for understanding concrete durability. Three examples - sulfate attack; alkali silica reaction and bacteriogenic corrosion in sewers are used to illustrate the pitfalls which can arise from conv ...

The aim of this paper is to explore a new approach to obtain better traffic demand (Origin-Destination, OD matrices) in dense urban networks. From reviewing actual methods, for static and dynamic OD matrix evaluation, possible deficiencies in the approach ...
The aim of this paper is to explore a new approach to obtain better traffic demand (Origin-Destination, OD matrices) for dense urban networks using traffic simulation data. From reviewing existing methods, from static to dynamic OD matrix evaluation, possi ...
