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 ...
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 slum question is at the very heart to urban planning and social development. The urban growth takes place primarily in developing countries. Around one billion of people (with a perspective of 2 billion in 2030), the third of the world’s total urban po ...
