Abstract:

This submission for PhD by publication aims to capture, reflect upon, analyse and offer critical insights into how the use of land and exchange of property can help serve the search for sustainable urban development (SUD). This aim is subsequently met by: • hypothesising how the applicant's publications provide a representation of SUD able to get beyond the state-of-the-art and offer a conceptual framework capable of uncovering the positive role land and property can play in sustaining urban development; • reviewing the research undertaken by the applicant to define SUD and develop a framework

Abstract:

Tackling urbanisation and climate change requires more sustainable and resilient cities, which in turn will require planners to develop a portfolio of measures to manage climate risks such as flooding, meet energy and greenhouse gas reduction targets, and prioritise development on brownfield sites to preserve greenspace. However, the policies, strategies and measures put in place to meet such objectives can frequently conflict with each other or deliver unintended consequences, hampering long-term sustainability. For example, the densification of cities in order to reduce transport energy use

Abstract:

Due to urbanisation and an increasing knowledge about the climate change and its potential impacts on the environment and human society, concepts like the Ecocity have become more relevant over time. Various sustainable urban development models and concepts focusing on planning and constructing sustainable communities and cities have been introduced. These models and concepts share some features but are also in many cases focusing on different aspects. This report aims to list models and concepts, used and referred to as tools for urban sustainable development. Further on, an evaluation will b

Abstract:

This is a study of urban mobility, where urban areas are defined as diverse and complex locations with a metabolism composed of multiple components and subsystems. Currently, more than 60% of the world’s population live in urban areas, a number expected to grow significantly. Most cities are unsustainable and often in ecological deficit; cities over- consume or pollute their natural resources, while unequal distribution of resources also occur. Thus, leading to serious economic and social imbalances, something that is possible to appreciate in developing nation-states. With population growth a

Adaptation is sustainable only if it takes into consideration climate risks, while maximizing both social justice and environmental integrity.
