URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY A 2010 themed issue of Urban Design
and Planning journal.
Issue Editor: Dr Neil Thorpe, Newcastle University, UK
A key question facing academics and practitioners today is by how far, and
through what means can towns and cities be planned in the future to promote
social inclusivity, economic efficiency and environmental sustainability?
Outer city areas, such as outer suburbs, urban fringes and satellite
settlements, have attracted particular interest because these are areas
where the majority of people live, most new development is focussed, and
where high levels of car dependency, social exclusion and growth exist.
Tensions can often arise when formulating sustainable development policies.
For example, promoting a 'compact city' approach with higher densities
served by good public transport can conflict with the desires of firms and
households to relocate away from urban centres. Much debate surrounds the
ability of alternative designs of inner- and outer-town and city areas to
achieve economic and environmental sustainability. The Editorial Panel of
Urban Design and Planning journal invite technical papers, which may be
based on theoretical or empirical research, on the following key issues: -
How should alternative spatial designs be analysed and evaluated to
encompass economic, social and environmental considerations, for example at
local, urban and regional scales? - To what extent can alternative designs
for inner and outer urban areas achieve sustainable development objectives?
- Investigations into the sustainability of spatial development that
integrate key infrastructure sectors such as transport, water, waste and
energy. - What is the potential role in promoting sustainable urban and
sub-urban development of new and emerging technologies, pricing, regulation
and investment in these key infrastructure sectors? - Potential
opportunities and barriers to the adoption of new urban design and planning
principles that seek to promote sustainable development and enhance the
quality of life.
