However, the environmental consequences of this rapid development are apparent, and the citizens of Asia’s urban areas are increasingly insistent that something should be done. And there is an investment deficit in Asian cities’ infrastructure spending, mostly in environmental infrastructure, of some $100 billion per annum. Asian cities can be more environmentally friendly. The resources are there to achieve this. Up to 80% of gross domestic product today comes from urban areas in Asia, and its megacities are nation-sized in population and economic product. New cities, such as the innovative “eco-towns” in Japan and “eco-cities” in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), have begun to put into action a sustainable urban development model. Existing cities need to change as they grow. In particular, to maximize livability and minimize energy use and environmental impact, Asian cities need to align the planning and provision of quality, high-capacity public transport with the provision of well-serviced high density, mixed-use development. The bus rapid transit system in Guangzhou, People’s Republic of China, for example, is integrated with the city’s metro system and other nonmotorized means of transport. It is also integrated with the planning and zoning of surrounding areas to foster a dense, pedestrian-friendly environment which allows easy access to services and employment. The challenge throughout the region is to provide the green infrastructure needed to maintain growth while cleaning up the environment. Anyone who has been in traffic jams in Bangkok, Beijing, Jakarta, Manila, or Mumbai will know that a new approach is needed. Asian cities and their hinterlands also have potentially severe global environmental consequences. This can be seen in the ecological footprints of Asian cities. Although controversial as an absolute measure, city ecological footprints provide a relative measure of cities’ resource use intensity and help us understand their impact. A sustainable footprint is about 1.8 hectares www.kargosha.com v vi Preface per person. Today, the average in rural PRC is 1.6 hectares. In Shanghai, it is 7 hectares. The footprint of a typical city in the United States is 9.7 hectares. The consequence for the environment as the PRC urbanizes and becomes wealthier is obvious. The constraints of inter-sector and interjurisdictional coordination, exacerbated by far-reaching decentralization which has occurred across the region and which has seen capacity-strapped cities and surrounding rural local governments saddled with “unfunded mandates”, mean that even “wealthy” cities find it difficult to respond to climate change imperatives and invest in green infrastructure even if they want to. To support its developing member countries in more sustainable urban development, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), under its new Urban Operational Plan, will analyze the urbanization process in the context of a country’s economic development and identify the main environmental, social, and economic development issues relating to the urban sector—as well as how ADB can add value in the sector—and the proposed areas of investment focus. ADB will endeavor to develop longer-term engagements in focus urban regions. This will provide the opportunity to develop an integrated plan based on assessments of the environmental, social, and economic priorities for these regions. The assessment process will identify the key environmental issues of a city and prioritize investments to address them in an integrated way across infrastructure sectors to achieve a Green City. ADB, together with public and private partners, will be involved in investments in water supply, waste water, solid waste, district heating/cooling, urban transport (including roads), and energy efficiency. To foster such investments, two things are needed. The first is to give cities the capacity and incentive to plan, finance, and implement needed infrastructure that provides the basis for innovation appropriate to the competitive advantages of the city and its rural hinterland. The second is to enable the private sector to participate effectively in this process, leveraging government resources. Asia’s cities are rapidly developing in sophistication and confidence. Despite obvious shortfalls in service provision, there is a developing sense that, with the right support, incentives, and freedoms, they may be able to solve their problems and even contribute in a major way to solving global problems such as greenhouse gas reduction and climate change mitigation. www.kargosha.com vi Preface vii The challenge is to find ways to channel resources to effective change agents in subsovereign governments. This would encourage innovative responses and effective partnerships with both private sector and community groups. At ADB, we accept this challenge under our new Urban Operational Plan. This book is intended to provide examples of how this challenge may be met. Bindu N. Lohani Vice-President Knowledge Management and Sustainable Development Asian Development Bank www.kargosha.com vii Foreword We are pleased to publish this book on Green Cities that, in addition to Inclusive Cities and Competitive Cities, will continue to form one of three major themes of the work of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in the urban sector over the coming years. Publication of this book is particularly timely in this year of the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Environment, which represents a major commitment of the international community to achieving sustainable cities. The global challenge we face today is that of preventing catastrophic climate change. This will require ensuring that global greenhouse gas emissions peak by the year 2020. Reaching this goal will be necessary to ensure that the increase in global temperature does not exceed 2°C by the end of the 21st century. In addition to ongoing efforts to reduce emissions, adaptation measures will be required to cope with the adverse consequences of climate change that have been locked in by emissions of previous decades. Developing Asia is now responsible for 35% of worldwide energy–related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, compared to only 17% in 1990. In the absence of more widespread use of energy from renewable sources as well as improved energy efficiency, this could reach 45% by 2030. Globally, cities account for about 70% of CO2 emissions, which comprise a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions, the bulk of these being generated in the building and construction, urban transport, and energy sectors. Ultimately, reducing CO2 emissions in urban

  • College of Architecture and Planning Annual Report Academic Year 2008 – 2009
    COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING ANNUAL REPORT ACADEMIC YEAR 2008 – 2009 The word is out…. It is a true pleasure to submit this annual report. We have many success stories to report, and we certainly had a lot of fun working on those, but we also had substantial challenges; we all did. In our February issue of e-cap we acknowledged that “every challenge is an opportunity” and that creative minds are particularly well equipped to take advantage of such opportunities. Today we want to celebrate the fact that in spite of financial uncertainty we have been able to continue to move forward in an aggressive quest to take our college to the next level. A fundamental move in that quest has been to build a “dream team” for the college’s departmental leadership. Last fall we welcomed Prof. Mahesh Senagala as our new Chair in the Department of Architecture, this summer we have been blessed with the arrival of Prof. Michael Burayidi as our new Chair in the Department of Urban Planning, and before it gets too cold in January we will be joined by Professor Jody Naderi as our new Chair in the Department of Landscape Architecture. I don’t know of any other college of architecture and planning in the nation with a stronger leadership team. We have adopted the structure of our University’s Strategic Plan and in such a way promote integration and synergy through all our units. We invite you to review this report and share in our excitement and enthusiasm. This is a great time to be at CAP.

  • Linking Bioclimatic Theory and Environmental Performance in Its Climatic and Cultural Context – an Analysis Into the Tropical Highrises of Ken Yeang
    PLEA2006 - The 23rd Conference on Passive and Low Energy Architecture, Geneva, Switzerland, 6-8 September 2006 Linking bioclimatic theory and environmental performance in its climatic and cultural context – an analysis into the tropical highrises of Ken Yeang Puteri Shireen Jahnkassim1 and Kenneth Ip2 1 Department of Building Technology and Engineering, Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design, International Islamic University Malaysia. E-mail: [email protected] 2 School of the Environment, University of Brighton, United Kingdom. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This paper presents the outcome of an environmental performance analysis and theoretical study into the bioclimatic highrises of Malaysian architect Ken Yeang – with a focus on the tropical climate. By focusing on case studies representing the three main phases of Yeang’s work, the impact of features such as core placement, sky courts, balconies, shading system and vegetation system are evaluated in terms of cooling and total energy use under the Malaysian climate. The climatic performances of the bioclimatic high-rise envelopes are then tested through comparisons with generic highrise forms. The study highlights the link between bioclimatic theories and climatic ‘performances’ and any conflicts between them. A paradox between theories based on critical regionalism and bioclimatic intentions are also described. Yeang’s designs are then evaluated in terms of overall forms rather than separate components. The study then focuses on the debate on critical regionalism and sustainable design, the balance of modernization and traditional values within the context of developing cities, and the significance of bioclimatic and critical regionalist theories in forming the basis of a sustainable architecture appropriate to its cultural and climatic context.

  • Historiography of Mosque Architecture in Malaysia: Analysis of Texts by 5 Authors
    Historiography of Mosque Architecture in Malaysia: Analysis of Texts by 5 Authors Megat Ariff Shah, Ezrin Arbi & Nila Keumala Department of Architecture, Faculty of Built Environment, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia *[email protected] Malaysian mosques exhibit remarkable variations, ranging from humble traditional timber structures to massive modern complexes. This evolution has been studied by numerous historians, architects, and academicians resulting in a steadily expanding historiography of mosque architecture. However, this body of work on the history and development of local mosques has never been formally studied in detail as a whole. Therefore, this paper focuses on 2 major aspects: first, identifying general research approaches present in the historiography of mosque architecture in Malaysia, and second, classifying the formal elements and characteristics used to describe the architecture of local mosques. Based on selected texts from 5 Malaysian authors, it was identified that these works are descriptive studies that are primarily structured on a combination of chronological, stylistic, cultural, geographical and typological approaches. Additionally, descriptions of mosque architecture by the authors were based on a set of formal elements and characteristics which falls into 5 distinct categories: i) typological element, ii) spatial organisation, iii) roof form, iv) building technology, and v) design articulation. These results reflect the complexity of mosque development in Malaysia and the multiple angles that are possible to holistically examine them. This paper also discusses 3 significant aspects embedded within the study of mosque architecture in Malaysia, covering unique elements and characteristics of local mosques, followed by issues related to language, conceptual, and factual ambiguity, and finally on the complexity of mosque classifications.

  • The Sustainable Tall Building of the Third Millennium
    ctbuh.org/papers Title: The Sustainable Tall Building of the Third Millennium Authors: Harry Blutstein, RMIT University Allan Rodger, RMIT University Subject: Sustainability/Green/Energy Keywords: Development Sustainability Publication Date: 2001 Original Publication: CTBUH 2001 6th World Congress, Melbourne Paper Type: 1. Book chapter/Part chapter 2. Journal paper 3. Conference proceeding 4. Unpublished conference paper 5. Magazine article 6. Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Harry Blutstein; Allan Rodger URBAN SYSTEMS The Sustainable Tall Building of the Third Millennium Harry Blutstein and Allan Rodger ABSTRACT Governments, industry and the communities are developing a consensus that the current pattern of human activity is ecologically unsustainable, and that this must change. The paper explores issues that will need to be resolved for a successful sustainable tall building of the Third Millennium. This will not just incorporate sustainable features, like energy efficiency, but a more fundamental change in the systems – technical, economic, organisational – involved in delivering the project, not to mention re-defining the project itself. The role of externalities also needs to be addressed. Any project is shaped by constraints, which are part of the creative process. In a sustainable building the constraints need to be identified to allow the imaginative solutions to be developed. To achieve fundamental changes in delivering a tall building project will require strong drivers. These do not exist, as the development of a project is fragmented between the developer and end user. As companies with a deep commitment to sustainable development begin to appreciate that their accommo- dation represents a significant component of their ecological footprint, then they will need to look more carefully at the supply chain that delivers that accommo- dation, and seek to influence it to ensure a sustainable outcome.
