Energy landscapes and urban trajectories towards sustainability
An urban energy transition is needed to address the two global environmental challenges of urbanisation and increasing carbon emissions. Urban energy landscapes represent the spatial patterns of urban energy systems which are visible in the built environment. Spatial regularities in the way systems of energy provision and use are organised are manifest in urban energy landscapes. Energy uses ma...

Bringing nature to the cities appears to be essential to enhance urban environment and ...
متن کاملA Systems Framework for Characterizing Farm Sustainability’
This paper presents a framework for quant$ying and diagnosing constraints to sustainability of farming systems. For a dynamic, stochastic, purposeful system, sustainability is defined as its ability to continue into the future. It can be expressed as the probability of continuation within specified threshold boundaries through a spectjied future period. Long-term, stochastic simulation of a sys...
