1. 6. Compact sprawl : Exploring public open space and contradictions in urban density

   Författare :Alexander Ståhle; Lars Marcus; Michael Batty; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Spatial morphology; Urban design; Public open space; Urban density; Landscape planning; Architecture; Arkitektur;

   Sammanfattning : Twentieth century urbanization has left a tremendous footprint on the globe. It is generally speaking a spread out fragmented suburban and exurban landscape continuously growing according to what has been called sprawl-like development, increasing energy and automobile dependency, challenging urban sustainability.

3. 7. Neighborhood Design and Travel : a Study of Residential Quality, Child Leisure Activity and Trips to School

   Författare :Pia Westford; Dick Urban Vestbro; Anders Hagson; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :urban design; neighborhood; car use; child leisure activity; school trips; lifestyle; perceived environment;

   Sammanfattning : Sustainable urban mobility calls for well-informed design of neighborhoods. Although many studies have been conducted in the field, there is little evidence about the relationships between design elements, urban quality and behavior. Little is also known about residents’ valuation of design and urban quality in this context. LÄS MER

4. 8. Modelling District Heating Network Costs

   Författare :Luis Sánchez-García; Urban Persson; Helge Averfalk; Erik Möllerström; Marcus Thern; Magnus Åberg; Sweden Lund Lund University; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; District Heating; Pipe network; Cost analysis; Distribution Capital Cost; Effective Width; Plot Ratio; Heat Density; GIS; Smart Cities and Communities; Smarta städer och samhällen;

   Sammanfattning : The solution of the undergoing climate and energy crises requires a radical transformation of the energy system, in which sustainability, no carbon emissions and energy efficiency ought to play a paramount role. This revolution should extend to all areas of the energy system, including the space heating and cooling sector, which accounts for a third of the European final energy demand and, in the European continent, it is still mostly supplied by fossil fuels.

5. 9. Solar access indicators for urban planning

   Författare :Agnieszka Czachura; Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; solar access; urban planning; performance indicator; daylighting; sunlighting; neighbourhood; metric taxonomy; urban density;

   Sammanfattning : Solar access describes the amount and distribution of sunlight in living environments. Access to sunlight is crucial for the health and sustainability of cities. It is vital for people and vegetation, and for energy production and conservation. LÄS MER

7. 10. Planning for emergence: Confronting rule-based and design-based urban development

   Författare :Hye Kyung Lim; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; density; compact city; rule-based approach; diversity; design-based approach; urban resilience; planning by coding; emergent urban form;

   Sammanfattning : Increasing urban populations, climate changes, financial instability, global conflicts, depletion of resources, and increasing land consumption all contribute to the complex and unpredictable urban challenges we are facing today. A compact urban form is promoted by global and local policies, and research has shown the benefits of dense and diverse properties for their capacity to provide complex responses to complex challenges.
