Urban ReLeaf : Door burgers aangedreven data-ecosystemen voor inclusieve en groene stedelijke transities Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Stadsgerichte aanpak om natuurgebaseerde oplossingen te katalyseren via het EU Regenerative Urban Lighthouse for pollution alleviation and regenerative development (UPSURGE). Universiteit Antwerpen
Wereldwijde akoestische interactie en psychoakoestische impact van de autonome voertuigen in binnen- en buitengeluid KU Leuven
Future urban mobility is envisioned with electrified vehicles (xEV) with driving assistance systems (such as autonomous vehicles, AV) coexisting with other road users like pedestrians and cyclists, resulting in smart and sustainable cities with less air and noise pollution.
However, one of the most significant problems with xEV in urban areas is the lack of noise. The noise reduction of vehicles has been very welcomed by society ...
Collaboratieve productie voor de circulaire economie; een gemeenschapsbenadering KU Leuven
POP-MACHINA aims to demonstrate the power and potential of the maker movement and collaborative production for the EU circular economy. We draw from a number of cut-edge technologies (factory-of-the-future, blockchain) and disciplines (urban planning, architecture) to provide the support necessary to overcome scaling issues; a typical drawback of collaborative production; to find the areas more in need of our intervention and to reconfigure ...
CLEARING HOUSE Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Trees and forests are a prTrees and forests are a proven nature-based solution that contribute to sustainable urban development. Their potential for delivering ecosystem services, enhancing biodiversity and contributing to the wellbeing of urban societies is often underestimated and underused. CLEARING HOUSE provides evidence and tools that facilitate mobilising the full potential of urban forest-based solutions (UFBS) for ...
Gebieden van opsluiting. Een vergelijkende studie van gevangenisbedrijven op het Europese platteland en een voorstel voor Vlaanderen. KU Leuven
Prison Farm (PF) is a correctional facility located in rural environments where inmates are employed in open-air manual work.Within the current European carceral archipelagos, mostly constituted of mass urban walled prisons and recent suburban super prisons, PFs are limited in number and scope and often disregarded by national and EU policies, and by academic studies. Yet, PFs show potential in addressing the EU's wills to: improve the ...
HET VASTGOED FINANCIERING-STEDELIJKE KLIMAATRISICO VERBAND: EEN VERGELIJKENDE ANALYSE VAN MIAMI, ROTTERDAM EN SINGAPORE. KU Leuven
The connections between real estate governance and urban climate risk management represent a critical missing link between urban research, policy-making, and practice. Real estate climate risk management practices have important consequences for the welfare and prosperity of at-risk cities, yet climate risk management cultures and practices vary greatly between cities. These highly particular variables shape an increasingly globalized real ...
Stedelijke ontwikkeling aan de kust. KU Leuven
Coastal urban development incorporates a wide range of development activities that are taking place as a result of the water element existing in the fabric of the city. This element may have different forms (i.e. a bay, a river, or a brook) but in almost all cases the surrounding area constitutes what maybe considered as the heart of the city. Every city that incorporates the water-element in its fabric is confronted with the fundamental ...
Microben in de stad: een metagenomics truit-gebaseerde analyse van microbiële metagemeenschapsstructuur langs urbanisatiegradiënten. KU Leuven
Human induced environmental gradients have a strong effect on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Despite the valuable ecosystem services (such as biogeochemical cycling and xenobiotic degradation) provided by microbial communities, environmental conservation policies usually neglect microbial diversity. This can be in part attributed to our poor understanding of microbial community responses to anthropogenic influences in natural ...
