“…However, density described as population per area unit may refer to different urban environments (Pont and Haupt 2005; Salat 2009). The distribution of a fixed amount of residents or households within an urban area may vary greatly, depending on the configuration of the built structures, specifically building footprints and number of floors (Casas Castro Marins and Andrade Roméro 2013). As a result, population or housing density alone will hardly capture these different configurations and the corresponding energy behavior.…”

“…This concept is also implicit on the design D of Cervero and Kockelman (1997), where they consider arterial speed limits and street widths as properties of urban space influencing travel demand. Alternatively, Casas Castro Marins and Andrade Roméro (2013) use the share of road area (road area/total urban area) to describe the road network.…”

The implications of urban form on energy have long been present in international debate, whether considering travel patterns or thermal comfort in buildings. The urban environment is a result of a set of intertwined attributes, the understanding of which is often unclear. The energy trade-offs between urban form attributes haven’t received proper attention. Research remains sectorial, considering buildings and transport in isolation. In order to allow for a comprehensive analysis of this relationship, this article reviews urban attributes with energy relevance. A collection of attributes and metrics is gathered from the literature for incorporating urban form in urban energy analysis.

“…The potential of energy efficiency in urban transport is much higher than in buildings. For example, the strategy adopted to reserve energy in Agua Braca, Sao Paulo gives priority to achieve it through the transportation sector (Marins and Roméro, 2013). Therefore, we can understand that the potential to save energy through changes to the transportation sector is very promising.…”

Controversial Issues Relevant to Sustainable Urbanism: A Review of Global Urban Tendencies

Academic urban debates shrouded with paradox render the transition to sustainable urban development (SUD) vague and unclear. The premise of this study is that the elimination of the controversial points included in each issue, in addition to reconciliation among these issues, may propel SUD. Therefore, this study dialectically discusses five urban issues: urban form, urban growth, transportation, urban vegetation, and governance (social participation). These issues were chosen among ten issues reviewed in a previous study in order to highlight controversial aspects and how to overcome them. The study suggests that the sociocultural dimension is an overlooked aspect in urban issues, and this may be a major reason for the conflict among academics. Further, this study concludes that governance is a major coordinator that can remedy the controversial points related to urban problems. Transportation is the second mediation among urban form, growth, and vegetation. Therefore, greater concern with governance and transportation in any urban planning policy improves current and future sustainable developments.

“…The increasing population in urban environments as well as quality-of-life improvements have escalated both energy consumption and water use. Urban energy consumption (UEC) is closely related to transportation systems, building systems, and infrastructure (Yao & Pan, 2009;de Casas Castro Marins & de Andrade Roméro, 2013). Urbanization and high-density urban development have a significant impact on energy consumption and, therefore, a nation's energy structure (Parikh & Shukla, 1995;Al-mulali et al, 2013).…”

Interaction relationship between urban domestic energy consumption and water use – a case study of Beijing and Shanghai

et al. 2015

Energy consumption and water use are inextricably linked. Combining research on energy consumption and water use in an urban context provides a scientific basis for the integrated planning of energy and water supply systems. Domestic energy and water are among the most consumed resources in urban environments. Furthermore, domestic resources represent an increasing proportion of the total resources consumed. This paper explores four key indicators of urban energy consumption (UEC) and water use in Beijing and Shanghai for the period of 2000 to 2011. Using correlation analysis, this study establishes the intrinsic relationship between UEC and water use. It also offers an analysis of the consumption trends of these two resources as well as their interactive relationship. The results show that urban domestic energy consumption (UDEC) and water use have a significant linear correlation: UDEC is positively correlated with water use, and the correlation coefficients of Beijing and Shanghai are 0.81 and 0.97, respectively. In Beijing, urban domestic energy and water use per capita are negatively correlated, with the high correlation coefficient of 0.93. In Shanghai, urban domestic energy and water use per capita are positively correlated, with the correlation coefficient of 0.90.
