Rethinking the City: Combining Form and Flows
Abstract
The unrelenting growth of environmental constraints requires a fundamental rethinking of urban lifestyles and the consumption of natural resources, especially energy consumption. Modern technical solutions can improve the energy efficiency of buildings and prevent or reduce their negative impact on the environment. However, these solutions must be part of a more global planning process that guides the urban structure and behavior of inhabitants toward more efficient models.
