The focus is the town of Belper in the Derwent Valley Mills WHS, an area currently under pressure from diverse and conflicting socioeconomic forces, in need of a coherent regeneration plan. It aims to contribute to such a plan, drawing from theoretical investigations of alternative urbanism and heritage studies, alongside extensive firsthand investigations of Belper and its surrounding industrial landscape as both a heritage site and living community. As an example of the pioneering period of the Industrial Revolution, Belper’s identity is defined by its overall form and its relationship to the industrial landscape. It is essential that these relationships are definite and recognisable. However, abandonment of large factory buildings and closure of many warehouses and garages have left behind vast, derelict land and a bizarre landscape that needs to be remediated. Recent proposals take a piecemeal design approach, focusing only on specific problem areas instead of generating an overarching strategy for the development of the town as an extension of Derwent Valley WHS. This research proposes an innovative approach that regards the site as a palimpsest, a concept based on alternative urban theories, which recognises, reinforces, and enhances the distinctive characteristics of the historic environment while upgrading it for the 21st century. This is achieved through extensive and focused research of the existing layers of the historic built environment and its cultural significance, the natural environment, the social landscape, and the economic forces competing over the above. Knitting together the new and the existing, the researchled design proposal seeks to repair and upgrade Belper’s existing urban grain by promoting appropriate and viable mixed-use development to enhance the life of the local community while respecting and recognising the heritage listing and wider countryside setting.","PeriodicalId":224230,"journal":{"name":"The Sustainable City XIII","volume":"230 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132488100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The freight flows must be organized in such a way as to achieve sustainable development objectives through measures generating benefits and reducing costs on different levels of the supply chain. To promote sustainable urban logistics it is necessary to analyze the city development collecting the main data on the stakeholders behavior and planning actions for virtuous behavior to provide the best practices. The paper will focus on the rules about city logistics, considering the framework of the international and national goals to identify the way of transmission from one level to another. The rules processed at different territorial levels will show the absence of a well-defined link between one level and another and the voluntary choice of each administrative level to agree, or not, to the sustainable development process. The case of Calabria will be described. Calabria, achieving goals derived from the UN, the EU and by the Italian State, through planning tools, such as the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Economy and Finance Document of Calabria Region 2019–2021 (EFD), is an exemplary case of best practices. It is promoting and driving city logistics rules for implementation of sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":224230,"journal":{"name":"The Sustainable City XIII","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115201383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is echoed in the unbalanced provision of bulk infrastructure, social services and facilities between affluent and previously disadvantaged areas. Cemeteries are one land use where these disparities are visible, in terms of their design, provision and management. In Johannesburg, the local government provides cemeteries, which are also classified as part of the heritage and institutional land uses. This classification limits the ability of cemeteries to function beyond their original role of burial, especially amidst shrinking land resources for future cemetery development, and other competing land uses. Cemeteries are planned, developed and managed in isolation without strategically connecting them to other open spaces, which reduces their potential to function collectively with other green spaces to add ecological value to the broader environment. By following a case study approach, this paper investigates institutional perceptions toward multifunctional cemeteries, and barriers that constrain their planning, provision and management in ways that are consistent with green infrastructure and sustainability principles. In-depth interviews were held with government officials as key respondents, to understand constraints of providing and managing multifunctional cemeteries. Officials’ cultural beliefs conflict with their role and the City’s broader goals of sustainability. The unsustainable design of old cemeteries, particularly in previously disadvantaged areas, is coupled with the ecological imbalances of greenery between these and affluent areas. Over the years, these spatial disparities have contributed to the negative resilience of cemeteries as they persist today.","PeriodicalId":224230,"journal":{"name":"The Sustainable City XIII","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114496252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to such natural regeneration, abandoned wild landscapes have high biodiversity and ecological value and have been gaining attention from the scientific and planning communities. In the Chinese context, abandoned wild landscapes are frequently contested and subsumed into various utilitarian discourses regarding redevelopment or erasure, leading to an underestimation of their ecological value in urban contexts. Through reviewing academic literature, this paper explores abandoned wild landscapes in terms of the ecological value they encompass and related benefits for both sustainable urban development and ecological pressure. Moreover, this study also presents an overview of the causes of abandoned wild landscapes in different world contexts and analyses their controversy in China. The paper concludes by advocating that abandoned wild landscapes do have ecological values worthy of further understanding and appreciation, due to their potentially vital role in the ecosystems of contemporary Chinese cities.","PeriodicalId":224230,"journal":{"name":"The Sustainable City XIII","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122314663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Martí","doi":"10.2495/sc190271","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2495/sc190271","url":null,"abstract":"Nowadays, one of the main problems facing the city of Barcelona is climate change, which intensifies the urban heat island effect (UHI), as well as generating high levels of air and noise pollution. These environmental problems have a negative effect on the urban ecosystem and the living standards of its inhabitants. Greenery is able to counteract their effects, by capturing airborne dust, absorbing CO2, thus favouring better thermal regulation, increasing biodiversity and improving the quality of life of the population. This research intends to develop new forms of naturalization in Barcelona, introducing greenery not only in inhabited buildings in order to create long term benefits for the community, but also proposing new ways of constructing on top of the roof tops of existing buildings by means of industrialized attic flats. The majority of these penthouses are located in the Eixample District, the most crowded neighbourhood in the metropolitan area of Barcelona and the district which is probably most exposed to urban pollution. For this reason, the investigation seeks to innovate technical solutions that incorporate vegetation into the architectural projects of La Casa por el Tejado, taking benefit of the available surfaces such as roof-tops and party walls. The article will address different ways to implement greenery in La Casa por el Tejado’s projects through modular industrial solutions that require minimum maintenance and provide a study of benefits, opportunities and obstacles found in the application of vegetation, a description of the key factors to overcome these barriers, as well as how the implementation of greenery could introduce positives changes in the living dynamics of people and the city.","PeriodicalId":224230,"journal":{"name":"The Sustainable City XIII","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129148023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many issues of built environments in urban settlements are the consequence of prevailing building regulations in that settlement. These building regulations have been copied and adopted from one place to another across the country, having an enormous impact on the functioning, character, quality, safety and image of a city. The role of building codes in the formation of the urban fabric of cities and the impact on architecture and planning identity are addressing different models of the types of laws and their impact on cities. General frameworks and guidelines for linking laws and building regulations were developed with the formation of the urban fabric and the mechanisms of changing these regulations temporally and spatially in order to preserve the identity and the positive intervention in the formation of the urban fabric of the city. In accordance with the Geo-environmental, developmental and technological context, new building frameworks and guidelines that are applicable at the area/zone level in Alexandria, Egypt were formulated. Various crucial factors/criteria which are essential for appropriate development in towns were determined and can therefore become the basis for new building regulations.","PeriodicalId":224230,"journal":{"name":"The Sustainable City XIII","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128435719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Located in the south east of the United Arab Emirates, the origins of Al Ain were as an oasis. However, fast urban development has increased the number of built-up areas. Local climate zone (LCZ) classification provides a map of a city based on the similar properties of each zone, and WUDAPT is a network that facilitates its analysis. This approach allows developers to track the growth of the city. This study is based on satellite images and Google Earth Pro. High-definition satellite images are used to detect the specifics of each building morphology and district pattern. The new city map is then compared with the CFD models generated by ENVI-met. The models are based on site surveys and information taken from the authorities in the municipality of Al Ain, while the boundary conditions are based on information taken from local climate stations. Al Ain has a hot, arid climate with very dry, hot summers and the city is composed of desertified areas of red sand. To the east is a rocky mountain that affects the climate of the city. This study will focus on the spring and summer seasons due to the extreme changes in temperature. The outcome of this study is an analysis of the urban heat island effect (UHI). The aim is to detect problematic districts and to analyse their morphology. The widespread use of trees in the city improves the impact of the UHI, although the high speed of construction has produced dense, built-up areas. The LCZ and the results of ENVI-met simulations are used to define the levels of UHI in each zone analysed in this study.","PeriodicalId":224230,"journal":{"name":"The Sustainable City XIII","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132998305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By examining 12 communities with differentiated geographical and demographic features, the paper argues that although the fulfillment rate is acceptable, several problems remain. The 15-minute life cycle program requirement is uniformly imposed, it ignores the demographic structure differences among communities. The needs of seniors and other vulnerable parties are often neglected. Also, for those rural communities with low population density, the uniform configuration requirement leads to the unsustainable operation of the public facilities. Besides that, with the increasing living standards in Guangzhou, like most Chinese cities, new types of public facilities are gaining substantial demand in communities. Those types of public facilities are yet to be included in the program. As such, the 15-minute life cycle program enhances the city’s community public facilities provision, but certain optimization strategies should be applied to improve the policy design.","PeriodicalId":224230,"journal":{"name":"The Sustainable City XIII","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126390904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
