The ecodesign of urban environments at different spatial scales6 is an emerging topic fostered by the research on ecodesign and urban sustainability. Urban areas and environments are expanding worldwide. Statistics of urban population share reach figures of 70% in Europe, America and Oceania and 50% globally1. This ever-increasing urban population is likely to grow even more2. With this unprece...

We have developed a visualized 3-D model of a City Sustainability Index (CSI) based on our original concept of city sustainability in which a sustainable city is defined as one that maximizes socio-economic benefits while meeting constraint conditions of the environment and socio-economic equity on a permanent basis. The CSI is based on constraint and maximization indicators. Constraint indicat...

Throughout the early and mid 1990s, there was widespread faith in the compact city model's ability to provide urban sustainability. However, where compact city policies had been implemented, follow-up studies began to show the predicted benefits did not happen as they should be. The article tries to peruse two opposite approaches of "Urban Sprawl" and "Compact City", with an analytical - cri...

This paper describes the research results in the development of spatial indicators for assessing both climate risks and opportunities for the southern Vietnamese city of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). The assessment is based upon a shared spatial framework, utilising an urban structure type approach. The key urban environmental impact indicator of imperviousness is provided as an example. The propose...

This study presents a practical methodology to monitor the spatiotemporal characteristics of urban expansion in response to rapid urbanization at the provincial scale by integrating remote sensing, urban built-up area boundaries, spatial metrics and spatial regression. Sixty-seven cities were investigated to examine the differences of urbanization intensity, urbanization patterns and urban land...

There have been few attempts to develop, test or apply sustainability indicators for natural resource management at a farm-level, and even fewer have fully consulted land users from the initiation of this process. While environmental sustainability indicators need to be accurate and reliable, land users also need them to be rapid, cost-effective and easy to use, in addition to being linked to m...
