Cities are expected to play a key role in achieving the ambitious energy targets set by the European Union. By looking at opportunities beyond the single building scale, urban planners can significantly contribute to shape energy-efficient and low-carbon c ...
The present work develops a new methodology for assessing urban renewal scenarios at the neighborhood scale. Entitled URBIUS, this methodology seeks to meet the needs of municipalities in terms of planning for the development of their urban built fabric. I ...
The large-dimension housing complexes in Rome have grown since the late ‘60s as a result of the 1st PEEP planning of 1964. The plan tried to face the large housing emergency caused by the rising urbanization (Albano, 2001). The peripheral areas of the city ...
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 ...
Since tomorrow’s cities are already largely built, and as many of their buildings – with a low level of energy performance – will still be standing in 2050, urban renewal processes play an essential role towards the sustainable development of European citi ...
Despite much research on the ecological impacts of urbanization, we still do not know what development patterns are most effective in supporting ecological function. In particular, it is as yet unclear if compact urban forms are ecologically more favourabl ...
In Nouakchott in Mauritania, as in all the Cities of the Global South, the demographic explosion has led to unbridled growth in peripheral zones. This process will continue in future decades when a new Afri- can urban population numbering hundreds of milli ...
The idea of virgin nature is more metaphor than reality – a metaphor best represented by the fabled garden paradise from which Homo sapiens’ ancient forebears were exiled. Despite the fact that virtually every development site borders on an existing city o ...
Energy transition emphasizes the role of local authorities towards a sustainable future: energy productions are increasingly more decentralized by valuing renewable energies often rooted in territories. Management and operation of local energy systems are ...
The dense heat demand of cities provides a challenging environment for developing low carbon heating. Deployment of a mix of technologies will be needed at both an individual building level and a district level, using heat networks in high demand areas to ...
