Currently he is working on the FP7 UrbanAPI project dealing with ICT applications for urban governance.
The increasing improvement of energy sustainability entails an increase in the use of heliostats in small applications for urban environments.
Such infrastructures can be used to deploy community networks, metropolitan area networks, municipal and corporative networks, and to support applications for urban areas, medical, transport and surveillance systems.
Urban ecology is a promising research field that could generate important information to be transferred into practical applications for urban landscape planning and management.
Climate change scenarios were developed, tailored for the application of urban drainage impact analysis.
It is of equal importance to set and comply with standard rules with respect to new applications for advancing urban sustainability to achieve seamless integration between the available urban systems (in terms of infrastructural, physical, operational, and functional forms) and the introduced big data (and context-aware) applications across diverse urban domains.
We present results from the application of TAPM for urban and coastal areas in Australia, for two United States tracer experiments (Kincaid and Indianapolis) used for international model inter-comparison, and for point source dispersion in wind-tunnel building wakes.
For the purpose of practical application of CFD for urban climate planning, a building canopy model coupled with CFD was developed, and the effects of building planting were discussed for the decrease of urban heat island phenomena and energy for cooling.
This paper provides a comprehensive review and a typology of spatial studies on mobile phone data, and highlights the applicability of such digital data to develop innovative applications for enhanced urban management.
The methodology is exemplified through numerical applications for both urban and rural areas.
