Participatory urban planning in Brazil [PDF]
Urban Studies, 2014 This paper focuses on participatory urban planning as a model of urban reform and democratic invention in Brazil. Its case material regards the formulation and implementation of two sets of urban laws of very broad consequence. First, we discuss briefly the chapter on urban policy in the 1988 Citizen Constitution and the federal law that it mandates ...

The Role of Green Infrastructures in Urban Planning for Climate Change Adaptation
Climate, 2019 The population that lives in cities has surpassed the one that lives in the countryside. Cities are recognized as apriority source of pollution. The degradation of air quality and the phenomenon of Urban Heat Island (UHI) are some of the most well-known ...

The Global Warming Potential of Geoengineering via Radiative Cooling
Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.The cooling power of engineered radiative cooling materials is determined and compared to conventional construction and roofing materials and Earth's natural surfaces. Results show if 1% of Earth's surface are to be covered with state‐of‐the‐art radiative cooling materials the terrestrial radiative forcing would decrease by 1.61 W·m−2 (from 0.6 to −1 ...

Housing the homeless: How revisiting the 1940s assists the struggle
Australian Journal of Social Issues, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 798-811, December 2022., 2022 Abstract A major obstacle in the political work of housing the homeless is convincing voters and lawmakers that housing is a right and should be available to all without conditions. This paper seeks to assist that project by showing that the tension between rights and conditions has a history. It focusses on the pivotal 1940s, which saw the first major

Automated Urban Planning for Reimagining City Configuration via Adversarial Learning: Quantification, Generation, and Evaluation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Urban planning refers to the efforts of designing land-use configurations given a region. However, to obtain effective urban plans, urban experts have to spend much time and effort analyzing sophisticated planning constraints based on domain knowledge and personal experiences. To alleviate the heavy burden of them and produce consistent urban plans, we

Macrophage HM13/SPP Enhances Foamy Macrophage Formation and Atherogenesis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Previous research suggests that AIP may prevent atherogenic foamy macrophage formation. This study reveals that AIP, via its chaperone interaction with AHR, inhibits p38‐c‐JUN‐mediated transactivation of HM13, which encodes the ERAD protease HM13/SPP. HM13/SPP promotes foamy macrophage formation in addition to atherogenesis and plaque foamy macrophage ...

Urban Metric Maps for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Motion Planning [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Low-altitude urban flight planning for small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) requires accurate vehicle, environment maps, and risk models to assure flight plans consider the urban landscape as well as airspace constraints. This paper presents a suite of motion planning metrics designed for small UAS urban flight.
