Typical urban participatory approaches engage citizens through lengthy sessions far from the area under transformation by an urban project. Several issues result from these settings of involvement including the mobilization of similar individuals, overwhel ...
This paper aims to analyze the transnational discourse behind the programmatic shift in spatial production and layout of workers’ housing in Turkey from the state-financed model of the interwar period to the aided self-help model by the introduction of the ...
In high-income countries, migration redistributed populations from congested city centres into the sparsely populated outskirts, raising challenges to environmental and population health and the conservation of biodiversity. We evaluate whether this periur ...
This presentation aims to discuss the transnational activity and discourse behind the programmatic shift in spatial production and layout of workers’ housing in Turkey from the state-financed model of the interwar period to the assisted self-help model by ...
Modern cities dynamically face several challenges including digitalization, sustainability, resilience and economic development. Urban planners and designers must develop urban forms that address these challenges. With the integration of new communication ...
The gradual institutionalization of public participation increasingly compels local authorities to partially share their power over the transformation of urban areas. The smooth running of a participatory session is based on selecting the appropriate type ...
Little is known about the impacts of morphological indicators that can be derived from the physical environment on the risk of diarrhoeal diseases. Given Africa’s recent explosive urbanisation rates and rapid changes in landscape, coupled with a high burde ...

This research aims to analyse how urban landscape patterns and stakeholders’ modus operandi relate to the way plastic waste circulate within a city. This allows for rethinking Urban Metabolism to include spatial variations and drivers that govern waste flo ...
Surface temperature is one of the critical factors used to study microclimate conditions through Land surface Temperature (LST), a widely used data source. This paper tests a classification approach using moderate spatial satellite resolution images to ext ...
