Circular, biobased, and modular construction practices are gaining traction as cities seek to reduce the environmental impact of the built environment. However, little is known about how these strategies affect construction logistics and their associated emissions. We develop an agent-based model to …

Metropolitan Cebu, the third largest agglomeration in the Philippines with a population of approximately 3 million, faces significant challenges in managing domestic wastewater and solid waste. This mismanagement has led to the pollution of its water bodies, including the Mahiga Creek and the Butuanon …

Decarbonisation of urban logistics is a pressing issue. About one third of the freight-related CO2 emissions in the Netherlands relates to urban logistics, consisting of both vans and trucks. Although electrification is a feasible solution, delivery models that not only focus on reducing the carbon footprint, …

This paper explores how universities orchestrate academic-industry co-creation within mission-oriented regional innovation ecosystems. The empirical case analyses the Greater Manchester Electrochemical Hydrogen Cluster (GMEHC) through a structured collaboration between Centre for Enterprise, Manchester …

The diverse European landscape of climate consciousness is shaped by political values, financial constraints, and country-specific point of view. The aim of the study was to unravel age-specific ecological awareness, forms of engagement, and perceptions, contributing to a nuanced understanding of climate …

The HARMONY project supports and enables several metropolitan areas to lead a sustainable transition to a low-carbon new mobility era. For city logistics, innovative services and developments can serve as promising solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption in metropolitan areas. …

Nederland wil in 2050 circulair zijn. Dat vraagt een ongekende transitie in de wijze waarop onze samenleving onderneemt, samenwerkt, denkt en doet. Stedelijke regio’s zijn de geijkte plek om een transitie naar een circulaire economie in gang te zetten door hun dichte concentratie van kennis, kapitaal, …

The number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years. The growing presence of charging points generates a multitude of interactions between EV users, particularly in metropolitan areas where a charging infrastructure is largely part of the public domain. There …

Climate change with sea level rise cast a spell on spatial planning in The Netherlands, adding further unrest to the control of urban development in the north-east of Noord-Brabant. The pressure from the Randstad is felt already today in this peripheral zone, bound by the Meuse and the precautionary …

While many health-care issues and technological solutions are viewed locally, developing new technological solutions might benefit from lessons learned globally. The aim of this study was to develop a shared international research agenda of health-care ICT, applied to rehabilitation and daily living …
