Abstract:
Transformation towards smart sustainable cities requires transitioning and modernising urban infrastructure systems. This study builds upon previous work and recommendations to address the need for a holistic and comprehensive framework to guide the planning, development, and management of smart sustainable infrastructure transitions. Existing approaches and methods regarding city and infrastructure transitioning were reviewed to draw up an understanding of, the requirements for, and guidelines useful to the design of a conceptual framework. The framework was established through synthesis of t

Abstract. Urbanization creates challenges for water management in an evolving socio-economic context. This is particularly relevant in transitioning peri-urban areas like Khulna, Bangladesh where competing demands have put pressure on local groundwater resources. Users are unable to sufficiently meet their needs through existing institutions. These institutions provide the rules for service provision and act as guidelines for actors to resolve their water related issues. However, the evolving peri-urban context can produce fragmented institutional arrangements. For example in Khulna, water sup

Abstract:
The upgrade of urban water distribution systems (UWDS) amidst uncertain global change pressures is a challenging problem. To deal with this dilemma water utilities require approaches that enable UWDS to be transitioned at a minimal technical and socio-economic impact as uncertainties become known. A review of approaches for upgrading UWDS shows that existing cost models are skewed towards operation and maintenance costs without consideration for future transitionability. This thesis describes approaches for the sustainable transition of UWDS and their application on case studies. The thesis de

In the arid western United States (U.S.), population expansion is dependent on water supply. With the majority of the water being consumed in agriculture, municipalities often obtain water supply needed for growth from agriculture. Water supply reallocation generally occurs through agricultural-to-urban water right transfers. This trend in agricultural-to-urban water transfers drives the question of how to strike a balance between agricultural and urban water needs in rapidly growing arid regions.

Abstract:
In current times, people are spending more time indoors than outside due to the combined effects of industrialization, globalization, and rapid urbanization. In fact, recent studies assert that contemporary lifestyles result in individuals spending the majority of their daytime time indoors. Many public institutions, jobs and services have transitioned to online spaces, making it so that humans barely have to leave the “comfort” of their homes. But what does that comfort represent and how can we measure it? In this research, our goal is to discover if by using artificial intelligence as a meth

Abstract:
Significant gaps and inequities in urban water and sanitation services persist, with a growing risk of exacerbation due to changes in the climate, global water cycle, and patterns of urbanisation. Urban water and sanitation systems need to transition to accelerate access to safe, equitable, and sustainable water and sanitation services, while enhancing resilience to respond to increasing risks. This paper reviews the persistent challenges in water and sanitation services, emerging risks from climate change, and imbalances in the global water cycle that threaten to impact urban water cycles, an

Abstract:
This report is the outcome of the project Urban Agriculture for a Resilient Future (FutureUA) financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers and implemented in 2023. In this final report, we discuss the future of urban agriculture across different themes, namely (1) cultivating change in connection with innovation and legislation, (2) cultivating community in connection with culture, and (3) cultivating knowledge in connection with education and science. While the first theme reflects the potential of agriculture to occupy more space in cities and to be perceived as a desirable urban function thr

Abstract:
This study used data from the 2017 National Household Travel Survey California Add-On sample to explore how replacing the current state vehicle fuel tax with a flat-per-mile-rate road-user charge (RUC) would affect costs for different kinds of households. We first estimated how household vehicle fuel efficiency, mileage, and fuel tax expenditures vary by geography (rural vs. urban) and by income. These findings were then used to estimate how much different types of households pay in the current per-gallon state fuel tax, what they would pay if the state were to replace fuel taxes with a flat-r
