How green or environmentally friendly urban areas are in comparison with rural areas is a topic that has received much attention in recent years. This is understandable because urban areas already emit around 70% of the global greenhouse gases. This percen ...
Large-scale design - Mobility interface models and urban transformation strategies This research project is based on the hypothesis that the urban transformations generated by mobility interfaces constitute a key component of successful sustainable urban ...
Augmenting built density helps achieve a sustainable urban development reducing, for example, transport-related energy consumption and greenfield urbanization. Yet, in order not to undermine solar potential and daylight, an integrated design approach guara ...
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 ...
L’apport de l’article est une contribution à la compréhension du zonage, tout particulièrement dans la marge qu’il peut prendre afin de laisser émerger la ville de la proximité. L’observation nous montre un objet souple, flexible et qui s’hybride lorsqu’il ...
For the past century, the urban underground has been developed piecemeal rather than as the object of a long-term planning effort. There is a growing awareness by urban planners and engineers that the underground contains not only potential usable space, b ...
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 ...

Population growth, urbanization and agriculture lead to degradation and loss of natural environment. This has an adverse effect on the diversity of habitats, species and genes and might cause decline in the quality of life of the resident population. In th ...
Taking the recent decline in ‘automobilities’ as a departure point, in this article, we reconstruct the constant opposition of pedestrian and car that marked the theoretical debates as well as the urban projects throughout the last century to better unders ...
