LEED-Certified Residential Brownfield Development as a Travel and Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Strategy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The transportation sector is the second largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States. This study examines the cost effectiveness of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)–certified ... -
Connections between Land Use and Driving Distance: Causal Investigation Using Directed Acyclic Graphs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper examines the causal connections between land use and household driving distance in the Houston-Galveston metropolitan area by introducing the directed acyclic graphs. It is found that population density and ... -
Grid-Geometry Sampling Technique: Identifying Optimal Alternatives for Housing Developments on Hillsides
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Partitioning development sites into gridded networks for slope/gradient analysis is one of the most important steps for housing development on hillsides. In concept, different housing development alternatives can be created ... -
Disaggregation of an Urban Population with M_IDW Interpolation and Building Information
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Human population distribution represents critical information used for urban planning, sustainable development, and human–environment interaction studies. A number of models for the mapping of population distribution have ... -

Near-Natural Silviculture: Sustainable Approach for Urban Renaturalization? Assessment Based on 10 Years Recovering Dynamics and Eco-Benefits in Shanghai
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Although the near-natural silviculture approach as a method for urban renaturalization has been widely applied in the world, there have been few reports about its long-term recovering dynamics, especially its eco-benefits. ... -
Estimation of Potential Transportation and Building Energy Performance of Commercial Office Site Alternatives
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The energy efficiency of urban infrastructure is in large part influenced by the efficient utilization of transportation and building systems. Opportunities for more efficient utilization of transportation and building ... -
Optimization of Land Use in a New Urban District
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper optimizes the use of land in a new city district with the aim of maximizing the quality of life (QOL) of its workers and the productiveness of its living facilities, such as schools, shops, leisure places, and ... -
Spatial Pattern of Land Use and Its Implications for Mode-Based Accessibility: Case Study of Nanjing, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Accessibility is an important concept in transportation planning and research. This manuscript proposes methodologies and procedures to quantify accessibility by mode choice and its spatial variances in the contexts of ... -
Forces Driving Changes in Urban Construction Land of Urban Agglomerations in China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This article presents the results of changes in urban construction land and driving forces of urban agglomerations in China. First, the urban construction land areas and the urban construction land areas per ten thousand ... -
Measuring Spatial Structure of China’s Megaregions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Reflecting upon China’s current path of regional urbanization, this research studies the polycentric structure of China’s megaregions. It defines the concept and measurement for megaregional polycentricity and utilizes the ... -
Role of Urban Planning in Encouraging More Sustainable Lifestyles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Where urban planning is used to promote environmental sustainability, it has traditionally focused on reducing emissions from housing and traffic. However, cities are increasingly being recognized as consumption centers ... -
