A better understanding of urban form metrics and their environmental outcomes can help policymakers determine which policies will lead to more sustainable growth. In this study, we have examined five metrics–weighted density, density gradient slope, intercept, compactness, street connectivity–for 462 metropolitan areas worldwide. We compared correlations with each other across geographic regions socioeconomic characteristics such as income. Using the K-Means clustering algorithm, then...
As the world becomes increasingly urbanised, there is recognition that public and planetary health relies upon a ubiquitous transition to sustainable cities. Disentanglement of complex pathways urban design, environmental exposures, health, magnitude these associations, remains challenge. A state-of-the-art account large-scale studies required shape future research priorities equity- evidence-informed policies.
Transport interventions offer opportunities to reduce the adverse environmental impacts related totraffic. However, on vehicle activities, emissions, air quality, and health outcomes areoften assessed in silos focused aggregated effects. Current practice lacks a scalable, opensource, modular tool that can efficiently simulate personal vehicular travel theresulting energy, of regional transportation system at highresolution. This paper presents newly developed integrated assessment framework...
We propose the Individual Experienced Utility-Based Synthesis (INEXUS) accessibility metric, which is developed to leverage an open-source agent-based regional transportation model. include two specifications: Potential INEXUS, relates individual's potential set of mode alternatives and Realized reflects optimal chosen by agent. One advantage using approach that it enables us estimate individual agent-level behavior travel needs. This addresses a commonly identified limitation many existing...
Credibly identifying how the built environment shapes behaviour is empirically challenging, because people select residential locations based on differing constraints and preferences for site amenities. Our study overcomes these research barriers by leveraging San Francisco’s affordable housing lotteries, which randomly allow specific households to move residences. Using administrative data, we demonstrate that lottery-winning households’ baseline are uncorrelated with their allotted...
Preemptively assessing the potential impacts of large transportation projects is an essential step in achieving better outcomes. However, for transformative public transit projects, it can be difficult to weigh many complicated downstream on individual travelers a coherent, cost-effective, and comprehensive way. This research focuses leveraging Behavior, Energy, Autonomy & Mobility Comprehensive Regional Evaluator (BEAM CORE) gauge regional responses changes existing planned services,...
Recent advances in data science and urban environmental health research utilise large-scale databases (100s – 1000s of cities) to explore the complex interplay characteristics such as city form size, climate, mobility, exposure, impacts. Cities are still hotspots air pollution noise, suffer heat island effects lack green space, which leads disease mortality burdens preventable with better knowledge. Better understanding through harmonising analysing large numbers cities is essential...

Our study overcomes these research barriers by leveraging San Francisco's affordable housing lotteries, which randomly allow specific households to move residences. Using administrative data, we demonstrate that lottery-winning households' baseline are uncorrelated with their allotted features...
After industrial revolution many of visionaries deal with technology in underdeveloped communities; but dealing did not lead to preserving identity and culture cities caused unconsidered deployment for response construction needs made environmental damages. Today, the lack attention cultural aspects architecture developing countries is become a common issue .This despite fact that these countries, such as Iran, have rich glorious history art, engineering architecture. So, extensive study on...
