Housing, street and health: a new systemic research framework
Paola Viganò, Stéphane Joost, Dusan Licina, Idris Guessous, Anna Pagani, Valentin Daniel Maurice Bourdon, Mathias Lerch, Catarina Wall Gago, Derek Pierre Christie
As the world’s population grows in cities, urban dwellers spend a large amount of time inside their home, making housing health ever more important. Critical for residents’ health, the interactions between indoor residential environments and outdoor enviro ...
2023A solar-based sustainable urban design: The effects of city-scale street-canyon geometry on solar access in Geneva, Switzerland
Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Dan Assouline, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni
Buildings commonly have the largest share in the energy demand of a country, but they also offer sites for the generation of solar energy. Here we develop a methodology to analyse the effects of street-canyon geometries on the solar access of street surfac ...
2019Optimizing neighborhood-scale walkability
Many designers and researchers have grappled with the problem of optimally locating buildings and use types in a neighborhood-scale development. But little work has used data-driven optimization to aid in creating urban design schemes. The paradigm of sing ...
2019Shops as the bricks and mortar of place identity
“Think of a city and what comes to mind?” asks Jane Jacobs (1961: 29). “Its streets. If a city’s streets look interesting, the city looks interesting; if they look dull, the city looks dull.” In our opinion, Jacobs should have answered: its commercial stre ...
Springer2018Modeling and optimization of multimodal urban networks with limited parking and dynamic pricing
Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng
Cruising-for-parking constraints mobility in urban networks. Car-users may have to cruise for on-street parking before reaching their destinations. The accessibility and the cost of parking significantly influence people's travel behavior (such as mode cho ...
Elsevier2016CO2 emissions in relation to street-network configuration and city size
The street-network efficiency of tens of British cities in relation to transport fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are analyzed. The results show a strong linear positive correlation between length entropy and average street length, and a negative correla ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2015Image Localization using Google Street View
Digital images, taken for example with a smartphone, are usually geo-tagged with location and viewing direction information. This information is not always accurate due to, for example, GPS inaccuracies in large cities. The aim of this project is to develo ...
2015Multiplex networks in metropolitan areas: generic features and local effects
Emanuele Strano, Marc Barthélemy
Most large cities are spanned by more than one transportation system. These different modes of transport have usually been studied separately: it is however important to understand the impact on urban systems of coupling different modes and we report in th ...
