Accessibility, urban form, and property value: A study of Pudong, Shanghai
(Center for Transportation Studies, 2018-11-19)The effects of metro system development and urban form on housing prices are highly depend on the spatial temporal conditions of the urban neighborhoods. However, scholars have not yet comprehensively examined these ... -
Adolescent Physical Activity and the Built Environment: A Latent Class Analysis Approach
(Elsevier BV, 2012)This study used latent class analysis to classify adolescent home neighborhoods (n=344) according to built environment characteristics, and tested how adolescent physical activity, sedentary behavior, and screen time differ ... -
Analysis of a simplified calibration procedure for 18 design-phase building energy models
(Informa UK Limited, 2015) -
Anxious Landscapes: From the Ruin to Rust
(MIT Press - Journals, 2000) -
Are master plans effective in limiting development in China's disaster-prone areas?
(Elsevier, 2013)The effectiveness of urban master plans in limiting development in a disaster-prone area of China was empirically investigated by measuring cities’ land-cover changes against their master plans. If a master plan serves as ... -
Assessing Ozone-Related Health Impacts under a Changing Climate
(Environmental Health Perspectives, 2004)Climate change may increase the frequency and intensity of ozone episodes in future summers in the United States. However, only recently have models become available that can assess the impact of climate change on O3 ... -
BioComplexity, Systems Thinking, and Multi-Scale Dynamic Simulation: Foundations of Geodesign
(VDE-Verlag, 2014)Landscape Architecture and Planning have long used visual simulations for design ideation and communication, but the complex demands of the twenty-first century will require more than simply visual simulations; dynamic ... -
Boundary Form Effects on Woody Colonization of Reclaimed Surface Mines
(Wiley, 1989-10)Woody plants and evidence of browsing were measured on eight reclaimed strip mines in Maryland and West Virginia to see whether revegetation patterns differed adjacent to concave, straight, and convex forest boundaries. ... -
Breathing walls: The design of porous materials for heat exchange and decentralized ventilation
(Elsevier BV, 2017)This study demonstrates how to design pores in building materials so that incoming fresh air can be efficiently tempered with low-grade heat while conduction losses are kept to a minimum. Any base material can be used in ... -
The British new towns: lessons for the world from the new-town experiment
(Liverpool University Press, 2019-05)For more than a century the idea of building new towns has captured the imagination of urban planners. Britain has been a centre of both theory and practice, particularly in the early years of the planned-town idea and in ... -
Built Environment and Self-Rated Health: Comparing Young, Middle-Aged, and Older People in Chengdu, China
(SAGE Publications, 2021-01-05)Objectives: This article explores how the building-scale built environment is associated with self-rated health, examining differences in this association among younger, middle-aged, and older age groups. Features examined ... -
Climate Change, Ambient Ozone, and Health in 50 US Cities
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2007)We investigated how climate change could affect ambient ozone concentrations and the subsequent human health impacts. Hourly concentrations were estimated for 50 eastern US cities for five representative summers each in ... -
Climate Gentrification: From Theory to Empiricism in Miami-Dade County, Florida
(Institute of Physics, 2018-04-23)This article provides a conceptual model for the pathways by which climate change could operate to impact geographies and property markets whose inferior or superior qualities for supporting the built environment are subject ... -
Climate Information for Improved Planning and Management of Mega Cities (Needs Perspective)
(Elsevier BV, 2010)The majority of the population of the planet (6.6 billion) now live in urban areas, which have distinct impacts upon climate at scales from the local to the global. This urban effect is due to the physical form of the city ...
