Dynamic decision trees for building resilience into future eco-cities

‘Eco’ For Whom? Envisioning Eco‐urbanism in the Sino‐Singapore Tianjin Eco‐city, China

“…The term ‘eco‐city' gained prominence in the 1970s (Roseland, ), in no small part owing to Richard Register's foundational work on eco‐cities as urban areas conceptualized to be ‘ecologically healthy' (Register, : 3). The eco‐city concept nonetheless remains largely open to interpretation both in terms of definition and focus (Pow and Neo, ; Lehmann, 2011; Chang and Sheppard, ; Ciumasu, ; Joss et al ., ; Joss, ). For example, in definitional terms, Joss () has identified three broad eco‐city categories that encompass most current eco‐city developments: (1) new‐build eco‐cities, (2) the retro‐fitting of existing urban environments and (3) the expansion of existing urban areas.…”

Pandemi Döneminde Sürdürülebilir ve Dirençli Kentler: Çankırı Örneği

“…Çevresini koruyan, doğal, kültürel ve tarihi değerlere zarar vermeyen, ekoloji, ekonomi ve teknoloji arasında denge sağlayabilen düzenli bir kentsel oluşumdur (Premalatha, Tauseef, Abbasi, 2013, s. 661). Eko-kent, kendi kendine yetebilen bağımsız bir kent idealinin yanında, çağın yeniliklerine ve gelişmelerine yön veren teknolojik bir kent modelini de kapsamaktadır (Ciumasu, 2013, s. 1804, Newman, 2010, s. 149, Jong, Wang, Yu, 2013, s. 95, Göksu, 2012. Yenilenebilir enerji faaliyetlerinin ve teknolojilerinin hayata geçirilmesi ve benimsenmesi eko-kentin temel özelliğidir (Newman, 2010, s. 150).…”

Eco-cities: An integrated system dynamics framework and a concise research taxonomy

“…To that end, they stress the need for gathering data regarding material and energy flows in metropolitan areas in order to allow continuous environmental monitoring and promote necessary ecological policy interventions. Finally, to support the continuous efforts for the benchmarking of eco-cities Zhou, He, Williams, and Fridley (2015) propose an indicator-based tool for evaluating urban sustainability performance along 33 factors, while Ciumasu (2013) applies Dynamic Decision Trees for the case of the city of Iasi, Central Europe, for the identification and prioritization of potential risks to support the development of urban sustainability.…”
