Circular Urban Metabolism Framework [PDF]

One Earth, 2020
In our cities, the production and consumption of resources are achieved at an unsustainable rate. Combined with an increasing global population and accelerating urbanization, the absence of a new approach will almost certainly have dramatic environmental consequences.

Learning to Chill: The Role of Design Schools and Professional Training to Improve Urban Climate and Urban Metabolism

Energies, 2020
The increased frequency of heat-related mortality and morbidity in urban environments indicates the importance of urban climate studies. As most of the world’s population lives in cities, the education of designers, planners and policy makers is crucial ...

Urban Metabolism

, 2023
Urban metabolism Industrial ecology: the material and energetic functioning of cities. This research aims to quantify the metabolic inputs (e.g. biomass, minerals, food, and fuel) and outputs (e.g. waste, atmospheric emissions) (from Wolman 1965), optimise flows and improve their environmental performance.
