This paper presents the URBIUS method, developed to assess the sustainability of urban renewal strategies at neighbourhood scale. The conceptual framework of URBIUS gathers the main issues of urban sustainability, including social, economic and environment ...
Integrated transport and land use models are an increasingly used tool for evaluation of urban policy and large scale projects. Although there is a well-built theoretical background supporting the existing models, there are few exhaustive descriptions of t ...
Le présent chapitre porte un regard critique sur les huit visions élaborées au sein du Laboratoire d’architecture et technologies durables pour le site Gare-Lac à Yverdon-les-Bains. Ce secteur d’environ 25 hectares, actuellement en situation de friche, néc ...

In the context of sustainable development of European post-industrial cities, urban wastelands offer an important potential of surfaces to recapture. The regeneration of these sites is indeed an opportunity to simultaneously create density within the exist ...
Sensing and monitoring of our natural environment are important for sustainability. As sensor systems grow to a large scale, it will become infeasible to place all sensors under centralized control. We investigate community sensing, where sensors are contr ...
Current indicator-based sustainability assessment approaches usually have three shortcomings: (i) ecological as- pects are mostly overrepresented in relation to importance and complexity of economic and social aspects; (ii) they center on filling important ...
This is the first book to directly address the physics of urban sustainability, and how urban sustainability may be modelled and optimized. Starting with an introduction to the importance and key aspects of the topic, it moves on to a detailed consideratio ...
The unprecedented speed of urbanization in Asia calls for a fundamental rethinking of urbanism. Conventional master plans typically propose a single static ‘end’ condition derived from top-down visions, often incapable of responding to site-specific microc ...
Based on aspects arising from architectural work and academic teaching, this essay addresses the wide-ranging issues involved with innovatively integrating sustainability into architecture. It presents six theoretical questions concerning the underlying pr ...
With the rapidly growing trend in urbanization, sustainable planning and management of urban engineering systems is gaining more importance. The evolution of engineering infrastructure that is related to transportation, built-space, energy, and environment ...
