Integrating Design and Planning in Informal Settlements

ARCHive-SR, 2019
Informal settlements are often not included in the development plan of cities. Urban planning has increasingly been less concerned about provision of basic infrastructure and services to vulnerable communities living and working in informal conditions ...

The Effects of Urbanization on Infrastructure Sustainability and Resilience in Variable Microclimates Within Arid Environments

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Rapid urbanization significantly intensifies land surface temperature (LST), with profound implications for local climate, infrastructure sustainability, and environmental quality. The Local Climate Zones (LCZs) classification provides a standardized framework for examining urban thermal dynamics and supporting strategies to mitigate heat ...

Exploring eye-tracking technology: assessing how the design of densified built environments can promote inhabitants' well-being

, 2020
The accelerated densification of Western European cities driven by economic growth has major spatial implications for their overall livability. Often, new homes must be built within an existing urban fabric, creating higher density environments. However,

Eye-Tracking the City: Matching the Design of Streetscapes in High-Rise Environments with Users’ Visual Experiences

, 2020
Large cities in the West respond to an ever-increasing shortage of affordable housing by accelerating the process of urban densification. Amsterdam, for instance, aims to increase its housing stock by 10 percent in the next 15 years as its population is ...

Geographies of studentification in mid‐sized Canadian metropolitan areas

Canadian Geographies / Géographies canadiennes, Volume 70, Issue 3, Autumn / automne 2026.
Abstract Amid Canada's housing crisis, near‐campus neighbourhoods are undergoing “studentification”—the conversion of existing housing into shared student rentals—yet its extent remains unquantified due to the lack of student identifiers in census data. We introduce a novel indirect research method leveraging a Statistics Canada classification anomaly:

Acquisitive root exploration strategies help maintain higher peak sap flux rates during summer drought, but more root biomass does not

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2933-2945, June 2026.
Summary Roots are responsible for soil water uptake, yet little is known about how variation in fine‐root traits relates to whole‐tree water movement, particularly during periods of drought. By combining a 3‐yr dataset monitoring sap flow rates with measures of fine‐root biomass, length, and morphology across 10 tree species, we addressed hypotheses ...

Sampling patterns and edge effects in a biodiversity study of urban linear streetscapes

, 2013
In biodiversity monitoring programs, the selection of an unbiased sampling pattern has remained a significant challenge. This has been highlighted in systematic samplings where repeated habitat patterns may constantly occur or where over- or under ...
