Unboxing Urban Infrastructure: Three Methodologies for infrastructure-oriented Urban Design and Architecture Education

Urban Infrastructure and Morphosis

Urban Infrastructure and Industrialization1

Public infrastructure in Third World cities is generally in a fairly poor condition. The quality of infrastructure services is further eroded by the rapid population growth in most of these cities. Poor infrastructure reduces the profitability of modern sector manufacturing and may therefore inhibit industrialization. The present analysis demonstrates that there may arise situations with stable...

Financing Green Urban Infrastructure

This paper presents an overview of practices and challenges related to financing green sustainable cities. Cities are essential actors in stimulating green infrastructure; and urban finance is one of the promising ways in which this can be achieved. Cities are key investors in infrastructure with green potential, such as buildings, transport, water and waste. Their main revenue sources, such as...

Developing sustainability criteria for urban infrastructure systems1

Research in the area of sustainable urban infrastructure reflects the need to design and manage engineering systems in light of both environmental and socioeconomic considerations. A principal challenge for the engineer is the development of practical tools for measuring and enhancing the sustainability of urban infrastructure over its life cycle. The present study develops such a framework for...
