Abstract The features of the urban built environment influence the daily activities and health behaviors of people living in cities. Thus, it is possible to design cities in ways that can reduce poor health and support the well-being of urban residents.

Indigenous placemaking and the built environment: toward transformative urban design
Journal of Urban Design, 2020This paper examines how the design and programming of the built environment of settler cities have contributed to the invisibility of Indigenous peoples and minimizing their cultural influence.

Urban design is about making public places useful and beautiful. It concerns compactly built forms with attractive streetscape and variety in architectural expressions. Moreover, urban design is about making spaces between buildings socially liveable and environmentally sustainable.

Designing the Urban Microclimate
Architecture and the Built Environment, 2015This doctoral thesis presents research on the integration and transfer of knowledge from the specialized field of urban microclimatology into the generic field of urban design. Both fields are studied in order to identify crosslinks and reveal gaps. The main research question of the research is: How can the design of urban neighbourhoods contribute to ...

This thesis presents research into the possibilities for climate adaptation in Dutch urban areas. We want to know how cities can best prepare for extreme rainfall, droughts, and heat waves in future climates. These events are likely to become more frequent and more extreme.

Too often we plan and engineer rather than design. Planning tends to be ambiguous, leaving the critical details of place making to chance, and engineering tends to optimize isolated elements without regard for the larger system. If we merely plan and engineer, we diminish the possibility of developing a design that makes informed trade-offs between ...
