Building Treatment and Its Effects on City‐Scale Urban Flood Modeling
ABSTRACT Physics‐based flood hydrodynamic models are widely used for predicting inundation in urban basins with complex building layouts. While the treatment of urban buildings in these models has been extensively discussed, over‐assumptions can introduce inaccuracies, uncertainties, and excessive computational effort, particularly under data‐scarce ...

Decentralized Wind Energy Systems as Catalysts for Urban Resilience: A Design Framework
ABSTRACT Confronting the escalating extreme weather events (EWEs) and intensifying winds, this study proposes an active response to these issues by exploring decentralized wind energy production for Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong. It integrates theoretical perspectives on energy democracy—empowering local communities through energy autonomy—and urban ...

Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures are widespread worldwide, particularly in older urban districts. However, URM buildings—particularly those constructed before the introduction of modern building codes—are highly vulnerable to seismic hazard, and prone to experiencing local and/or global failures when subjected to significant horizontal shaking ...
