Air pollution dispersal in high density urban areas: Research on the triadic relation of wind, air pollution, and urban form

, 2020
Currently, urban air pollution becoming the major issue of urban physical environment in high density urban area. Many wind-calm zones or vortex zones can be formed where air pollution is retained or concentrated, which affects the environment and human ...

Innovations in Urban Design and Urban Form

Journal of Planning Education and Research, 2008
How might innovations in urban design influence urban form? This paper focuses on two types of innovations—identified here as degenerative variations and integrative paradigms—to examine their impact on urban form and to discuss the implications for public policy. The paper begins with a presentation of how degenerative variations collectively generate

Accessibility and Urban Form

2019
This chapter assesses the relationship between urban form and accessibility by comparing accessibility across metropolitan regions in the United States. A prevalent view among urban planning researchers is that low-density, auto-oriented metropolitan regions are also low-accessibility areas.
