sciforum-003349 | Three projects, three scales, one vision: regenerating existing architecture through green and smart technologies. | , | N/A |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
By now it is clear that the future and beauty of contemporary city (in our case of study, usually european) is decided from the necessity to recompose and regenerate urban spaces and buildings which have now been dismissed and relegated: architectural projects in these places have to attempt to re-define open spatialities giving quality to the urban space. This intervention illustrates various project experiences which were conducted inside a master degree thesis laboratories, an experimental workspace guided by our research group. It deals particularly with three interventions which are differing in context and scale, but whose trait d'union is the interdisciplinary design logic that shifts from a purely architectural standpoint to one which is more specialized, engineered, and capable of efficiently facing technological themes involved in the reanalysis of complex situations. The first project addresses the urban-territorial scale: It deals with a project of the requalification of Cabanyal, an ancient maritime neighborhood in Valencia. The heart of the project foresees the continuing of the Parco del Turia, which lies inside this neighborhood, introducing a new urban system capable of mending the construction fractures which have accumulated over time. The second moves to a level of more detail, concentrating its efforts on building scale: It is a project based on the regeneration of a social housing located on the outskirts of Ancona. This intervention is characterized by the technological elements used to minimize the ecological footprint of the structure, and more importantly the way in which these elements become the generating element of the formal aspects.Instead the third one reflects on the exception represented by the suburban centralities, real and actual satellites of the downtown city: in particular, it deals with the conversion of a dismissed brick furnace located in the countryside landscape of central Italy into a contemporary hub for culture and recreation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
sciforum-001742 | Study on the Smart Growth Resource-Based City in China: A Case Study of Renewing Cities | , , |
![]() |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The resource-based city shows a gradually decline behind the external prosperity in China. It has been identified that there were 262 resource-based cities in China . According to the different stages of developmentthe, the resource-based cities were divided into four types: growing, maturing, exhausting and renewing. Currently, 23 of them which have entered the exhausted post-transition phase of resource were called renewing cities. Thus, the focus of this paper is on the smart growth of renewing cities, whose core elements can be extracted from the essential characteristics showed in the process. Based on the thought of “smart growth” and aspects of “moderate exploitation”, “green ecology” and “social comfort”, the analytic framework of "smart growth", with 9 goals and 40 sets of variables relationships established, is formed. According to the statistical description and analysis of the existing data, in 40 sets of variables, there are 22 sets in line with the "smart growth" requirements; while 15 sets not ; and another 3 sets can not be judged. Finally, based on the results of the analysis, the path of “smart growth” for renewing city can be explained from aspects of city infrastructure supply, land development and utilization, energy saving and emission reduction, environmental protection and city agglomeration promotion, which are the key ares that government should focus on as well. |

sciforum-003528 | Surgery of City Wall-Canal System from Urban Segregator to Green Archival Linkage - Rejuvenation of Historic Eastern Water Gate Area of Nanjing | , , , |
![]() |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As the capital of China for 10 dynasties, Nanjing has experienced urban development in parallel to the construction of city wall-canal system for thousand years. However, the historic city wall- canal system which used to be the protective border of the city is now subject to the erosion of public space along it. Thus it leads to many problems, such as culture recession, river pollution, urban flooding due to the malfunction of sewage infrastructure, community segregation on two sides of the city wall-canal system. Accordingly, on urban level, five types of green belts as the green infrastructure are proposed in this paper to re-stitch the city wall-canal system for retarding urban sprawl and restoring historic context. Additionally, eastern water gate area of the city wall-canal system is an important waterway transportation junction and the facility center for water exchange and flood control. On local level, urban surgery is conducted in “ cut-removal-suture-growth” sequence. This paper also probes into the hydrological and urban issues of this area specifically regarding storm water and flood management, rain-water harvesting system as well as urban renewal, thus proposing 3 strategies: the extension of Fuzi Temple shopping center, facilitation of water exchange in eastern water gate area and improvement of community rain-water harvesting. In detail, the community adjacent to city wall is converted into a green public center integrated with shopping malls, community amenities, rainwater harvesting facilities and urban landscape; and the nearby communities are connected to the city wall-canal system by community canal system, green space, walkways, visual channels through the design of softened river bank, pervasive road surface, biotopes, eco-islands, water purification systems and various community activities, which as a whole form the holistic green infrastructure of the storm water and flood management. The key of above strategies lies in the regenerative design of eastern water gate park which constitutes the monitor and adjustor of Qinhuai river in 4 different phases: low water period, high water period, potential flood period, potential heavy rainfall period. On the one hand, the city wall walkways are integrated with water processing facilities including purification pipes, silt sieves, sedimentation ponds, wetland cells, infiltration ponds, oxygen basins, siphon pumps which as a whole control and manage flood and storm water. On the other hand, the archaic beauty and the historic scenes are presented just like the outdoor museum as people are walking down the walkways on top of the city walls. This green archival linkage further connects the communities on double sides to each other in every sense. Based on that, there form nine water processing systems in this area in total by which water confluences into the flood detention area in the nearby wetland park for further sedimentation, bio-purification and supplement to underground water storage. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
sciforum-001412 | An Applied Research Experiences: Green Pedestrian Facilities in Indonesia | , | N/A |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The paper discusses an applied research on green pedestrian facilities in Indonesia that based on walkability index. In general, the Government of Indonesia initiates the research as part of commitment to support the agenda of Durban Platform. As an applied research that focuses on green pedestrian facilities, the study attempts to improve the quality of walkability in the urban area in Indonesia. Many cities in this country are failed to provide walkable pedestrian facilities that support the concept of the green city. Therefore, the research tries to answer fundamental research questions regarding on walkability and green pedestrian facility. What are significant factors that influence walkability? How to improve walkability for green pedestrian facilities? The study applies mixed methods approach that combines qualitative and quantitative methods to gather data and further information on the topic. Since the research tests walkability concept in Indonesia, it refers and analysis method of Global Walkability index. Furthermore, to ensure that the theoretical discussion fit for implementation, the research uses a design competition to check parameters from walkability and translate the concept of the green city into physical development. Innovative design from the competition will be implemented in a few cities in Indonesia as a pilot project. Output from this research provides a new idea regarding walkability approach and green pedestrian facilities in Indonesia. Besides that, finding from this research is also expected to enrich theoretical debate on walkability index. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
sciforum-003583 | MENA Region: The Case of Metropolitan Cairo | , | N/A |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Extreme auto dependency, and consequent congestion issues are increasingly exacerbating the urban environments in the metropolitan Cairo region; overshadowing the total quality of life; physical, social and psychological. It has become inevitable to utilize human centric mobility modes such as bicycling, to create an "active environment" through motivating non-motorized design concepts, which will alter the lives of the city's residents. Transportation, urban planning and public health would be greatly enhanced by adopting bikeablity street design infrastructure interventions, especially in a historic urban fabric. Cairo, is an eligible city (with roots to the beginning of civilization) to examine the possibilities of transforming it into an -active city- with active citizens. Therefore, more research needs to be directed towards methodologies on how to transform existing streets of greater Cairo, to adopt the active design concept. This paper will discuss and analyze the urban fabric typologies in the context of Cairo with a specific number of categories, and show existing problems, potentials to utilize form-based codes, and linking it to its current congestion problems and auto-dependency. Based on that, it will present possible bicycle infrastructure solutions within the chaotic behavior pattern and transportation grid to promote human-powered mobility interventions. The outcome is in the form of an analysis of urban street types, and how they can be transformed to promote bicycle urbanism by design. |

About This Conference
True Smart & Green City? is the title of the 8th Conference of the International Forum on Urbanism (IFoU) that will take place from 22–24 June 2015 in the city of Incheon, Republic of Korea.
This inter- and multi-disciplinary conference aims to examine, explore and critically engage issues related to recent insights and advances in the 5 conference topics:
- True Smart & Green Urban Society
- True Smart & Green Urban Economies
- True Smart & Green Urban Planning and Governance
- True Smart & Green Urban Design and Visions
- True Smart & Green Urban Technologies and Infrastructure Systems
The conference will encourage both theoretical and practical debates surrounding environmental, economical, and social contexts.
SubjectAchieving sustainability and resilience of urban environments is a key challenge of our time. Limited availability of resources as well as the need for adaptation to the effects of a changing climate and urban environments are increasingly questioning the sustainability and resilience of urban environments and infrastructure systems.
The majority of the world cities are confronted with similar and comparable challenges, including for instance increases in resource consumption, mobility demand, pollution, urban sprawl, social inequities, erosion of fertile topsoil and depletion of ecosystems. However, specific basic conditions, as well as the individual context and level of urbanization and development require specific approaches and strategies to achieve sustainable urban (re)development, resilience and to cope with the problems encountered with the implementation of such strategies.
On the one hand, during the last decades many different approaches, methods, technologies and systems have been developed to facilitate the realization of true smart and green, thus sustainable and resilient urban environments. On the other hand, green and smart infrastructures and technologies applications are increasingly defined and controlled by powerful individual players, such as government institutions, developers, consultants, industries, NGOs, and academic institutions, using “green” and “smart” as marketing instruments, attributes, tools or masquerades to cover and “green wash” conventional development programs. Operations of green and smart projects are often partial organized, self-centered, and isolated. Accordingly, significant changes needed on macro levels can hardly be found. For examples in the academic area, knowledge about green is generally not integrated in the major courses but is understood as an "extra, additional matter", similar with other subjects of "Capita Selecta".
The conference True Smart & Green City? will focus on the question how smart and green concepts, systems and interventions could truly constitute to the construction, management, operation and maintenance of sustainable and resilient urbanities, in the framework of both new urban developments and the transformation of existing urban environments.
Questions to be discussed in the framework of the conference are also:
- How to define and how to differentiate between real sustainable and fake green elements?
- How can ‘smart’ concepts, systems and interventions really contribute to the improvement of quality of life, urban resilience and sustainability?
- How can real and fake smart and green elements be differentiated on the levels of conception, design, and realized projects?
- What should be done (e.g. politically, and institutionally) by the city or national government to promote truly smart and green transitions?
- What could architects, planners and urbanists do to direct real smart and green processes to the right trajectories?
- What should be done in order to foster truly smart and green education, research and development in specific academic disciplines and which essential cross-disciplinary collaboration should be enhanced?
Potential answers to the questions listed above could be found in strategies, approaches and methods aiming for high quality in the fields of Economy, Ecology, Sociology and Culture, Architectonic and Urban Design, Technologies and Systems for Urban Infrastructures (aiming for increased use of renewable resources and resource efficiency by integrated management of energy, water and waste), Participative and Integrative Planning, Management, Construction, Marketing, Quality Assurance, as well as Monitoring and Maintenance.
As with the conference theme, the metaphor of True Smart & Green should inspire our imagination and reflection toward sustainable and resilient urbanism.
AimsThis conference aims to generate a fruitful exchange between the academic and the professional debate, to investigate opportunities and challenges for the sustainable urban development of real smart and green cities. Causes, reasons and dependencies of urban transformation processes will be analyzed and planning strategies and design concepts for a more smart and green development of cities and regions will be explored by means of presentations and interdisciplinary scientific discussions of research results, design concepts, technical systems and solutions, theoretical approaches as well as professional experiences, and best practices.
Both research and design approaches are sought for this forum. For that purpose, differing specialties and scales will be integrated within the conference agenda: urban (and regional) planning and management, urban and architectural design, urban sociology, economics, geography and ecology.
Target GroupsDuring the conference, scientific results, as well as design concepts and technical solutions will be presented; theoretical approaches will be discussed as well as professional experiences and best practices. With this in mind, the target group would include a range of different backgrounds: architects and urban planners; policy makers, students and researchers from different disciplines; managers and politicians, all of whom are involved in or interested in design, planning and the management of the built environment.

(1) Songdo Convensia, 6-1 Songdo-dong, Yeonsu-gu, 406-840 Incheon (http://www.songdoconvensia.com/)
A. True Smart & Green Urban Society
Building resilient and sustainable cities is becoming a normatively positive concept. However it is often related with very few critical and systemic thinking. A key policy and important design aspect, which should be addressed in the implementation of sustainable and resilient smart and green concepts, is social responsibility. However, social responsibility is a not always taken into account. The social impacts of spatially exclusive smart technologies or sustainable design practices usually let a part the implications of cultural and behavioral aspects of truly greener and smart societies, living in greener and smarter cities.
The involvement of citizens, on both individual and communal basis, in the development and reshaping of urban environments towards resilient and sustainable systems is the key point of this sub-theme. A more resilient city is not only less vulnerable and a more sustainable city has not only lower carbon emissions and resource consumption than a conventional city. Truly resilient and sustainable cities need to address the society, people’s behavioral change, and a strong cultural positioning through a societal transition, in which green and smart solutions actively work synergistically with the urban society.
The revitalization of urban districts through cultural regeneration and the infusion of creative precincts will be also discussed in the framework of this sub-theme. This includes initiatives by individuals or collectives for sustainable and resilient development, transformation and regeneration of spaces and dynamics for enhancing urban societal transition.
Keywords: Social responsibility, benefits redistribution, participation, integration, informal sector, communities & community based development, individualism and collectivism, political conditions, network society, green urban culture, generic city and identity, social inequalities, kampong, slums and squatters, historic urban core, cultural sustainability, social resilience, local wisdom, social justice.
Session Chair
Dr. Lorenzo Chelleri
B. True Smart & Green Urban Economies
The development of urban and regional 'green industries' and 'green economies' is discussed in the framework of this sub-theme. This includes economical aspects of the planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and regeneration of buildings and infrastructures as well as the development of local economies and green industries that are providing sustainable products and services for a local and global market. The range reaches from sustainable industrial products via urban agriculture to special services for a harmonious society. In this way an increasing demand for smart green and sustainable products and services creates its own (green) economy.
Keywords: Economical life cycle analysis of buildings and/or infrastructures from neighborhood to city level, green urban economies, regional economy & currencies, effects of globalization, social-economic resilience.
Session Chair
Dr. Lorenzo Chelleri
C. True Smart & Green Urban Planning and Governance
Approaches and Methods for integrated participative planning and enhanced forms of governance supporting sustainable development and management of urban areas will be discussed in in the framework of this sub-theme. This includes potential answers to the following questions: How can governments and organizations realize integrated urban planning processes with key stakeholders? Which targets and reform strategies can be established to allow for transition to sustainability, in a form that is both, open, adaptive and accountable, allowing for transparent, review and assessment? How can political or sectoral conflicts and vested interests be transcended to enable multi-stakeholder participation and partnerships to be established in decision-making and implementation? Are there good lessons we can draw upon to encourage and facilitate wider public awareness, education (both formal and informal) and capacity building to help empower individuals and communities to take direct action towards sustainable development and environmental protection? How can the sustainability of integrated participative urban planning, management and governance be assessed and certified?
Keywords: Institutions, reform, integrated planning, management & governance, stakeholder participation, welfare, tools and systems for the quantification of sustainability aspects, assessment and certification tools LEED ND, BREEAM, CASBEE, DGNB.
Session Chair
Professor Marc Wolfram, Yonsei Unviersity
D. True Smart & Green Urban Design and Visions
Designs and Visions for built and un-built cities as well as the transformation and development of sustainable cities are discussed in the framework of this sub-theme. This includes plans and critiques of model cities and communities, which are built on visions of smart, green sustainable and resilient urban environments, the integrated management of resources and urban space for adaptation to the effects of climate change (such as floods and droughts).
Keywords: Designs, visions and practice examples of true smart and green landscape, architecture and urbanism; urban concepts and designs for new developments; regeneration and transformation of existing urban environments on different scales; plans and concepts for true smart and green urban (re)developments.
Session Chairs
Dr. Hendrik Tieben
Dr. Hendrik Tieben
E. True Smart & Green Urban Technologies and Infrastructure Systems
Technologies and systems facilitating the transformation of urban areas from pattern-dependent, resource consuming and waste producing to more diverse resource producing and non-polluting environments with improved livability, are discussed in the framework of this sub-theme. The contribution of technological solutions to the vulnerability reduction of built environments will be also a key synergistic topic of this section.
An appropriate combination of hard and soft technologies can enable the realization of truly smart green cities. Resource intensity of urban metabolisms could be e.g. reduced by application of new, innovative, more sustainable and resilient urban infrastructure systems, as well as networks for communication, control, management, transport and distribution. Zero emission design principles can be combined to strengthen the urban metabolism sustainability transition, and to increase the resilience of built environments, e.g. by means of more diverse, decentralized, resource efficient, modular and redundant urban system configuration.
This sub-theme also includes approaches, innovations and practices where economical restrictions force imagination to substitute the lack of sophisticated technologies. Furthermore solution for smart and green individual and public mass transport and approaches for the reduction of mobility demand by developments with high-density and at smart locations will be investigated.
