Currently, efforts are being made to evaluate the relationship between urban structure and car usage.
Urban air quality and human exposure to atmospheric pollutants as indicators of urban sustainability can contribute to the discussion, namely through the study of the relation between urban structure and air quality.
The interplay between urban structure and air pollution from an environmental, health and social perspective is the focus of our work: we model how urban structure impacts traffic-induced pollutant emissions and the exposure of residents to those pollutants.
This study analyzed the interconnections between urban structure and socioeconomic, demographic and lifestyle variables and direct ground transport greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Helsinki metropolitan region in Finland by using a latent class choice model (LCCM).
We recommend organic farming development to fully utilize nutrients from human and livestock excreta, and indicated that we should also adapt multi-cluster urban structure to increase the interface between urban structure and rural farming, and ultimately increase the energy and nutrient exchange efficiency between the two.
It provides the background information necessary to better understand the complex relationship between urban structure, the transportation system and household travel patterns.
This paper proposes the design of a management system of territorial planning and mobility, analyzing the relationships between the urban structure and mobility data from ISTAT statistics and field surveys.
Combining time series of satellite remote sensing with ground-based data on urban ecosystem structure is a promising venue to investigate these complex feedbacks and links between broad-scale urban structure and ecological services of specific sites and their designs.
We analyse the relationship between these aspects of urban structure and life satisfaction in 33 cities distributed across five OECD countries.
As many people have pointed out over the years, the most obvious comparison among major US metro areas is between Boston, still relatively traditional in urban structure, and Atlanta, the Sultan of Sprawl; not long ago the cities were about the same population, although Atlanta is growing much faster.
