Embedding climate resilient development principles in planning, urban design, and architecture means ensuring that transformation of the built environment helps achieve carbon neutrality, effective adaptation, and well-being for people and nature. Planners, urban designers, and architects are called to bridge the domains of research and practice and evolve their agency and capacity, developing methods and tools consistent across spatial scales to ensure the convergence of outcomes towards targets. Shaping change necessitates an innovative action-driven framework with multi-scale analysis of urban climate factors and co-mapping, co-design, and co-evaluation with city stakeholders and communities. This Element provides analysis on how urban climate factors, system efficiency, form and layout, building envelope and surface materials, and green/blue infrastructure affect key metrics and indicators related to complementary aspects like greenhouse gas emissions, impacts of extreme weather events, spatial and environmental justice, and human comfort. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Positive Energy Districts: Fundamentals, Modelling and Performance Assessment offers a comprehensive and timely exploration of the rapidly evolving concept of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs).The book delves into the key technologies, energy systems, and urban planning strategies that underpin the development of PEDs, addressing the critical need for sustainable and energy-efficient urban environments in the face of climate change. Covering a wide range of topics, the book begins with clear definitions and the historical context of PEDs, tracing their evolution and highlighting the driving forces behind their emergence. It explores methodologies for characterizing PEDs, considering their energy balance, spatial boundaries, and interactions with the surrounding urban fabric. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to the role of cutting-edge technologies and integrated energy systems in achieving positive energy balance, including renewable energy generation, energy storage, and smart grids at the district level. Furthermore, the book presents modelling and simulation techniques for predicting the energy performance of PEDs under various operational scenarios and climate conditions and establishes KPIs for assessing the environmental, economic, and social impacts of PEDs, providing a framework for evaluating their overall sustainability. Including best practices, insightful case studies from around the world, and an analysis of the barriers and enablers that influence their successful deployment, the book explores the crucial integration of PEDs within broader urban planning strategies aimed at achieving carbon-neutral cities. Researchers, urban planners, policymakers, industry professionals, and postgraduate students will find a valuable resource for advancing knowledge, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and accelerating the implementation of PEDs globally, ultimately contributing to more sustainable and resilient urban environments.

This book illustrates how the advanced technology developed for smart cities requires increasing interaction with citizens to motivate and incentive them. Megacities' needs have been encouraging for the creation of smart cities in which the needs of inhabitants are collected using virtualization and digitalization systems. On the other hand, machine learning algorithms have been implemented to provide better solutions for diverse areas in smart cities, such as transportation and health. Besides, conventional electric grids have transformed into smart grids, improving energy quality. Gamification, serious games, machine learning, dynamic interfaces, and social networks are some elements integrated holistically to provide novel solutions to design and develop smart cities. Also, this book presents in a friendly way the concept of social devices that are incorporated into smart homes and buildings. This book is used to understand and design smart cities where citizens are strongly interconnected so the demand response time can be reduced.

This book discusses the concepts and technologies associated with the mitigation of urban heat islands (UHIs) that are applicable in hot and humid regions. It presents several city case studies on how UHIs can be reduced in various areas to provide readers, researchers, and policymakers with insights into the concepts and technologies that should be considered when planning and constructing urban centres and buildings. The rapid development of urban areas in hot and humid regions has led to an increase in urban temperatures, a decrease in ventilation in buildings, and a transformation of the once green outdoor environment into areas full of solar-energy-absorbing concrete and asphalt. This situation has increased the discomfort of people living in these areas regardless of whether they occupy concrete structures. This is because indoor and outdoor air quality have both suffered from urbanisation. The development of urban areas has also increased energy consumption so that the occupantsof buildings can enjoy indoor thermal comfort and air quality that they need via air conditioning systems. This book offers solutions to the recent increase in the number of heat islands in hot and humid regions.
