Large-Scale and Refined Green Space Identification-Based Sustainable Urban Renewal Mode Assessment

Abstract

Urban sustainable renewal has received extensive attention in a wide range of fields, including urban planning, urban management, energy management, and transportation. Given that environmental resource conservation is critical to urban sustainability renewal, this study highlighted the imbalance among green space, urban development, and transportation accessibility. Here, a novel node-place-green model is presented to measure sustainable urban development; meanwhile, deep learning is utilized to identify and extract the green space to measure the environmental index. Based on the generated node, place, and green value, urban developing status could be classified into nine modes for further analysis of transportation, urban function, and ecological construction. The experimental results of Harbin reveal the feasibility of the proposed method in providing specific guidelines for urban planning and policies on sustainable development.

Sustainability Assessment through Urban Accessibility Indicators and GIS in a Middle-Sized World Heritage City: The Case of Cáceres, Spain

“…Urban Accessibility [31][32][33][34] Bike parking [35][36][37][38] Green areas Accessibility [39][40][41][42][43][44][45] Accessibility to waste separate collection rubbish bins [46][47][48][49] Household waste recycling centre accessibility [20,[50][51][52][53] Public services accessibility [54][55][56][57][58] In addition to the reviewed references, we can also find literature that focuses on using GIS for sustainability assessments in several contexts, as in the following articles related to resilience in historic urban areas [59], spatial accessibility [60], walkability indicators [61] and sustainable urban growth [62].…”

Does Environment Matter in Smart Revitalization Strategies? Management towards Sustainable Urban Regeneration Programs in Poland

“…The scope of environmental analyses undertaken in SUR models is broad and covers a varety of issues. Concerning energy, and beyond housing efficiency, there are greenhouse gas emissions related to transport [73,74] and the availability of green spaces [46,47,75]. More and more attention is being paid to the issue of accessibility of green areas in the scientific literature; the factors (governance tools, organizational leadership, culture and political leadership) that influence the satisfaction of the residents' needs in this area are increasingly being analyzed.…”

“…The authors note that it has been difficult for Polish municipalities to take into account environmental factors [45]. Authors in other countries point to similar problems, emphasizing how big a challenge is ensuring the measurability of environmental phenomena [39,46]. Diversification of approaches in different countries, and verification of the what extent to which smart city tools are useful in this type of analysis, is a gap for further research to close.…”

Critical success factors and collaborative governance mechanism for the transformation of existing residential buildings in urban renewal: From a social network perspective

“…Urban renewal is a general trend for urbanization to enter the stage of medium- and high-speed development, and an inevitable requirement for promoting high-quality urban development. Urban development in developed economies has gone through the process of upgrading from new construction to stock renovation, and urban renewal has gradually shifted from initial physical renewal to multi-dimensional renewal of physical, economic, social and environmental dimensions, which has become the dominant mode of urban construction [ 1 , 2 ]. There are a wide variety of types and contents of urban renewal projects, but large-scale and extensive renovation projects usually take place in existing residential buildings [ 3 ].…”
