The stratification process was based on two criteria: building density, by comparing "average building density" with "high building density"; and settlement subdivision, by comparing "regular settlements" with "irregular settlements".
The quality of the permanent home's residential environment was assessed by four factors: building density, access to private garden, and accessibility of local and larger green areas.
In this paper, we consider in an idealized neighborhood with two categories of packaging building densities (λp) of 0.25 and 0.44, which respectively represent medium and compact urban development.
Four neighborhoods are selected with different building densities representing the urban core, urban, suburban and rural areas, with scales of 0.5, 1, and 2 km radiuses as the system boundaries.
It spoke of just six firms of land agents holding strategic land banks of 23,000 acres – enough for 400,000 homes at current building densities.
A multidimensional approach was used to (i) identify the trajectories of LCCs, (ii) quantify diachronically the spatial distribution of low-density settlements, and (iii) evaluate the increase of building density within twelve basic land cover classes.
In short, 120 sites were selected for monitoring through stratified random sampling of 7,756 300 m x 300 m grid cells with oversampling in areas of high traffic and high building density- indicators of two categories of important local emissions sources- to account for skewed distributions of these source proxies within New York City.
One builder who installed 4,000 square feet of green roof, for example, received permission to build an extra 12,000 square feet of building density; the builder was able to add six condo units, then selling for $395,000 each.
Unable to implode the building because of the building density of the area, E/R Partners began an eighteen month, US$23 million process to dismantle the building.
At the conclusion of this exercise, urban stratification comprised four types of urban situations: "regular settlements with average building density", "regular settlements with high building density", "irregular settlements with average building density" and "irregular settlements with high building density" [ 15].
