Motivated by ever-increasing soil degradation and artificialization due to past and present urban growth dynamics, the current trend of spatial planning policies at the European and Swiss levels is promoting increased soil protection, by avoiding new devel ...
Post-political debate has stimulated a vigorous research agenda about the role of politics in regional and urban planning. It warns of a depoliticization process leading to the emergence of a consensual social order and the retreat of the properly politica ...
Globalization and technological progress have facilitated the progressive implementation of “modern” architectural and urban planning in the countries of the South. These countries aim to replicate Western planning models in African cities. Both at the pub ...
The Anthology concludes the series of publications on the “Horizontal Metropolis,” a research and an oxymoron whose strength resides in expanding the traditional image of the metropolis to a larger territory where urban and non-urban elements live side by ...
Recent traffic flow prediction methods are lacking abilities to determine predictive features. Thus, they will propagate the error in the next timestamps. In this paper, first, we assess the role of spatial and temporal features on the traffic speed predic ...
A territorial project impelling biodiversity and socio-ecological transitions implies its renewal. The recognition of the landscape as a support of biodiversity led to the establishment of the tool of ecological continuities (ECs) within territorial planni ...
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 ...
Urbanization is nowadays a global phenomenon which is increasingly concentrating the world's population in cities. In Switzerland, recent decades have seen an unprecedented loss of arable land due to urbanization, which has triggered amendments in the spat ...
Spatial planning deals with the spatial expression of human activities in an integrated way to minimize their negative impacts on the natural and land systems. Rapid land use and land cover changes are important drivers of change of the benefits people der ...
