Contemporery Urban Development and Sustainable Urban Form
Sustainable settlement is one of the key constituents of sustainable development, and sustainable urban development can be defined in this framework. Emergence of sustainable development as a commonly-used phrase has caused several controversies about urban forms. Today’s urban form is known as a source of environmental problems. Undoubtedly, this phrase has persuaded many of researchers to sea...
متن کاملUrban design to lower summertime outdoor temperatures: An empirical study on high-rise housing in Shanghai
This research investigates the effect of urban design factors on summertime urban heat island (UHI) intensity. Ten high-rise residential quarters in the inner city of Shanghai were empirically investigated during mid July to mid August in 2008. On-site design variables were developed to quantify the thermal impacts from density, building layout and greenery. The design variables that weremeasur...
متن کاملPropagation in Urban Microcells with High Rise Buildings
In this paper 2D and 3D ray-tracing-predictions based on UTD are compared to measurements in urban microcellular environments characterized by an irregular mixture of building heights due to the presence of relatively high rise buildings. It is shown that the 2D ray-tracing underestimates the measurement in area far from the transmitter. The theoretical study and the preliminary comparisons wit...
متن کاملPerformance investigation of a power augmented vertical axis wind turbine for urban high-rise application ¬リニ
A shrouded wind turbine system has a number of potential advantages over the conventional wind turbine. A novel power-augmentation-guide-vane (PAGV) that surrounds a Sistan wind turbine was designed to improve the wind rotor performance by increasing the on-coming wind speed and guiding it to an optimum flow angle before it interacts with the rotor blades. The integration of the PAGV into the 3...
