Modern rapidly expanding cities generate intricate patterns of species diversity owing to immense complexity in urban spatial structure and current growth trajectories. We propose to identify and uncouple the drivers that give rise to these patterns by looking at the effect of urbanism on species diversity over a previously unexplored long temporal frame that covers early developments in urbani...

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...

Urban heat islands (UHI) are a widely documented phenomenon that adversely increases urban overheating and, among other effects, contributes to heat-related mortalities and morbidities in areas. Consequently, comprehensive UHI-mitigating measures essential for improving microclimate environments contributing salutogenic design practices. This study proposed cooling strategies involving differen...

The effects of green infrastructure on pollutant concentrations are greatly variable, essentially depending the surrounding built-up environment and local meteorological conditions. To simulate presence trees at urban scale, a reliable methodology is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach, however it needs high calculation costs. An alternative integral dispersion model given by provided t...

Urban growth is referred to as the expansion of an urban area into surrounding environment. The gives rise sub-urban development phenomena called peri-urbanization, which occurs in physical, economic, and social changes. This paper identifies socio-economic transformations peri-urban Bandung Metropolitan Area, based on theoretical determination variables typology. study emphasizes main feature ...
