Robocar and Urban Space Evolution

Symposium 13.09.18

2019 || Paperback || Anca Ioana Ionescu e.a. || TU Delft Open

How can we create more human-centered, resilient, and sustainable cities in the tech age? Can we make use of technology and the opportunities presented rather than resisting its fast-paced evolution? What are the biggest and most likely spatial changes that autonomous vehicles will bring in cities? How can this change in mobility contribute to a better urban environment? To what extent do the spatial opportunities created by automated mobility respond to current urban issues and what is the r...

From the beginning of the 1990s, national museums had to stand on their own feet. That gave the ...

In-Situ ­Determination of Buildings’ ­Thermo-Physical Characteristics

Method Development, Experimentation, and Computation

2020 || Paperback || Arash Rasooli || TU Delft Open

Accurate determination of building’s critical thermo-physical characteristics such as the walls’ thermal resistance, thermal conductivity, and volumetric heat capacity is essential to indicate effective and efficient energy conservation strategies at building level. In practice, the values of these parameters, which determine not only possible energy savings, but also related costs, are rarely available because the current determination methods are time-and-effort-expensive, and consequen...

Young People’s Housing Opportunity in Post-reform China

2018 || Paperback || Wenjing Deng || TU Delft Open

The inquiry that has culminated in this thesis was inspired by the challenges that many young Chinese people were facing when trying to gain access to affordable housing at the time of study, the early 2010s. By then, more than thirty years of housing reforms had completely changed how housing was being provided in China. The resulting structure had led young people to access housing in ways that were very different from those of their parents’ generation (Deng, Hoekstra & Elsinga, 2017). T...

Towards a new policy direction for an improved housing delivery system in Nigerian cities

Theoretical, Empirical and Comparative Perspectives

|| Paperback || Job Taiwo Gbadegesin || TU Delft Open

In Nigeria, housing units are not adequate for the entire population, especially in cities (Anosike et al. 2011, Makinde 2014). For instance, the deficit grows at an alarming rate, from about 8 million in 1991 to over 16 million in 2000s (Aribigbola, 2000; Aribigbola and Ayeniyo 2012). The challenges of housing provision are not only quantitative but also qualitative and have to be dealt with in a dual institutional perspective: the formal and the informal sector (Makinde, 2014; National Popu...

Four key aspects of water values including flood safety, as well as economic, social and environmental values, are studied, and their interrelationships are discussed. Morphological analyses and value assessments are conducted to explore in what sense spatial...
