Star-shaped cities alleviate trade-off between climate change mitigation and adaptation

Abstract: To deal with climate change, cities must reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and at the same time mitigate climate impacts associated with the physical infrastructure of the built environment. One strand of literature demonstrates that compact cities of sufficient density result in lower GHG emissions in the transport and the buildings sectors compared to sprawled cities. Another strand of literature, however, reveals that compactness hinders climate adaptation by amplifying the urban heat island (UHI)… Show more

“…However, there is lack of systematic approach to envisioning this joint institutionalisation of climate change mitigation and adaptation. Thus a model of three-dimensional cities has been proposed, according to which star-shaped cities could serve as a better approach to climate mitigation than radially symmetric cities (Pierer and Creutzig 2019). In India also, several air pollution mitigation policies and legislative laws are implemented to achieve ''National Clean Air Program (NCAP)'' goal.…”

“…En effet, au-delà des questions de transport, une ville dense présente de nombreux avantages (limitation de l'artificialisation des terres agricoles), mais aussi de nombreux défauts [Lohrey and Creutzig, 2015] : exposition accrue aux nuisances (bruit, et, potentiellement, pollution de l'air), faible présence d'espaces verts au sein de la ville, effet d'îlot de chaleur urbain accru, et donc vulnérabilité accrue aux canicules etc. La recherche reste active sur comment concilier tous ces enjeux (voir par exemple OECD, 2018 ;Pierer and Creutzig, 2019).…”

“…Existing research on sustainable transport in cities in the Global South is primarily concerned with mitigating the contribution of urban transport sectors to climate change. A range of studies highlight measures to curb emissions, including compact development [11,12], star-shaped urban form [13], dispersion of housing and industries [14], investments in mass transit systems [15][16][17][18][19][20] and non-motorized transport modalities [21][22][23]. The reverse enquiry, how urban transport systems are affected by extreme weather events, likely to be exacerbated by climate change, has so far received limited attention in the context of the Global South [2].…”
