“…For example, a comparative study assessing the annual solar radiation potential of square, radial, and hexagonal neighborhood layouts indicates that the square layout outperforms the radial and hexagonal layouts by approximately 3%. This reduced impact on solar access is achieved by enhancing the orientation of the primary facades and roofs of all buildings within the optimal range of 30 degrees east to 30 degrees west from the south (Hachem-Vermette and Singh, 2019).…”
This report provides a comprehensive overview of solar neighborhoods, including their definition, applications, standards, and regulations. It also outlines the methodology and tools used to develop archetype designs and analyses solar strategies at both building and neighborhood levels. The report presents selected archetypes from Canada, France, Italy, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland and provides a decision-making tool for solar strategies. The target audience for this report includes architects, urban planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in sustainable and energy-oriented developments.
“…However, over the past few years, there has been a growing recognition of the potential direct and indirect linkages between urban form and resilience characteristics such as robustness, redundant capacity, efficiency, diversity, and self-organization [14]. Following this, several studies have been published that explicitly examine linkages between urban form and resilience [15,16]. These studies are mainly focused on linkages between urban form and resilience to climatic stressors [17] and seismic events [15].…”
As cities are exposed to a portfolio of risks, the concept of resilience has risen to prominence over the past two decades. Consequently, a large volume of research has been published on different aspects of urban resilience. However, urban form resilience is still relatively understudied. As a step toward filling this gap, this study examines resilience of nine selected neighborhoods from Shiraz, an old Iranian city. The selected cases represent three different urban form patterns, namely, traditional, semi-planned, and planned. Different indicators related to the physical configuration of lots, blocks, open and green spaces, and street networks are used to examine resilience of each neighborhood to three major stressors, namely, earthquakes, extreme heat events, and floods. Additionally, a combination of Shannon entropy and the VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizcija I Kaompromisno Resenje in Serbian) method is used to rank the resilience of each neighborhood to each of the three stressors. Results show that, overall, the physical form of the planned neighborhoods is more conducive to urban resilience. In contrast, the urban form of traditional neighborhoods was found to be less resilient. There were, however, some variations depending on the type of stressor considered. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need to consider social and economic factors in future studies of urban form resilience.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
