Sustainable urban design -- a (draft) framework

Nico Larco

Journal of Urban Design, 2016, vol. 21, issue 1, 1-29

Abstract: This paper provides a roadmap or guide to help urban designers and researchers understand the elements and topics in urban design that should be considered when addressing sustainability. It describes ‒ within the realm of urban design ‒ what is to be sustained, the metrics for this and the urban design elements that contribute to those metrics. A matrix organizes the urban design elements by topic and scale to help urban designers and researchers relate these disparate aspects, identify areas of synergy and serve as a basis for comparison when trade-offs are present.
