Holistic approach to Sustainable Product and Process in Urban Design
Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
Sustainable Urban Design (SUD) is concerned with the process of creating the aptitude of urban design communities and other engaged individuals and groups in the process to minimize the negative impact of urban development and to maximize the positive effects in this respect. This study is focused on the investigation of the level of knowledge and experience communities and individuals concerned with the sustainability of the design of the urban product and urban process. The paper presents five determinants of sustainable design of urban products and urban process, that argue the sustainability concept as a combination of art and science needed to design and create places that endure. The sustainability determinants are derived from indicators for sustainable urban development. The five determinants of sustainable product and process design analysed in this study are land use, energy efficiency, environmental issues, social issues, and materials and water treatment. The research approach is based on theoretical and practical issues related to sustainable urban design. The data are derived from case studies and survey research. The results signify the level of urban designers and planners concerned with the sustainable urban design by comparing the international design community with the national community.
Keywords:
