Building Resilient and Healthy Cities: A Guide to Environmental Sustainability and Well-being de Anna Laura Pisello

Building Resilient and Healthy Cities: A Guide to Environmental Sustainability and Well-being: Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation

Editat de Anna Laura Pisello, Ilaria Pigliautile, Stephen Siu Yu Lau, Nancy M. Clark
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 feb 2024
This book presents a number of research papers that discuss how green urbanism is connected to promoting healthier living conditions. This is to reduce the impact of environmental changes including climate change, depletion of the earth's resources, and the emergence of infectious diseases and pandemics on humans. Addressing these challenges, the book at hand offers strategies and solutions that enable designers to bring together knowledge about sustainable and comfortable urban built environments, with an emphasis on the correlation between architecture, engineering, and medical facets in regard to comfort and well-being. Thus, the book is of significant importance to architects interested in the science of the built environment, climate change, and human resilience. This book is a culmination of selected research papers from the first version of the international conference on "Health & Environmental Resilience and Livability in Cities (HERL) - The challenge of climate change" which was held online in 2022 in collaboration with the University of Perugia, Italy, and the fifth edition of the international conference on Green Urbanism (GU) which was held online in 2021 in collaboration with the University of Rome.

Notă biografică

Anna Laura Pisello is associate professor of environmental applied physics at University of Perugia, Italy and founder of the EAPLAB.NET (Environmental Applied Physics Lab), as nationally qualified as full professor of environmental applied physics. She graduated cum laude in Building Engineering at Polytechnic University of Milan, Italy, in 2009. She received her PhD in Energy Engineering from University of Perugia in 2013. She was visiting scholar at Columbia University, Virginia Tech and City University of New York in 2010-12. She has been post-doc fellow of Applied Physics in 2013, and she is currently Associate Professor of Applied Physics at University of Perugia, Italy and visiting research associate at Princeton University (NJ, USA). On 2022 she got the national qualification as full professor of Applied physics. She is author of more than 150 international refereed journals. She won seven international academic awards and European projects under the framework of Horizon 2020 program. She is associate editor of Solar Energy (Elsevier), editor of Energy and Buildings (Elsevier) and Nature Scientific Reports, among others. She serves as a member of the teaching board of the Doctorate school of Energy and sustainable development where she is mentoring several PhD students. She is lecturer of Environmental applied physics and has been co-advisor of more than 50 master thesis in Building/Civil and Mechanical Engineering.
She is PI of several Horizon 2020 grants and PI of the ERC Starting Grant HELIOS.
Ilaria Pigliautile, Ph.D., is Assistant Professor in Building Physic at the Engineering Department of the University of Perugia (Italy). She is passionate about the existing mutual relationship between people and the built environment, at different scales: from deepening indoor comfort theories and occupants’ behavior affections, up to urban morphology and metabolism impact on the environment and citizen’s well-being. She is graduated cum laude in Building Engineering and Architecture at University of Perugia in 2015. She obtained Ph.D. in Energy and Sustainable Development in 2020 after a visiting research scholarship at Princeton University in 2018. She is author of more than 30 journal publications and she just got the best paper award in Building and Environment in 2022. Her interest on human nature is also depicted by her interest on performing arts and theater being also directly involved in several laboratories since 2008. 

Nancy Clark is Associate Professor and Director of the UF Center for Hydro-generated Urbanism (UF|CHU), an international initiative promoting prospective studies of adaptation, resiliency, and asset preservation for cities on the water. Her project-based research in urban resilience and development for coastal and fluvial cities has been recognized internationally through exhibitions, awards, and lectures presented globally including Mexico, Brazil, Italy, South Africa, France, Colombia, and the US. She is Editor of Urban Waterways: Evolving Paradigms for Hydro-Based Urbanisms, a UNESCO series publication investigating the environmental, cultural, and economic future of cities on the water in the 21st century. Clark currently serves as Research Chair for “Keeping Current: A Sea Level Rise Challenge for Greater Miami” a project initiated by the Van Alen Institute to enhance resiliency in the greater Miami area and create visionary and implementable designs addressing sea level rise in South Florida. She is Director of the Sustainable Settlements, Water Management and Renewable Energy Design Lab and Project Leadership Team Member for Puerto Rico Re_Start International Research Project and Workshops, an ongoing initiative that focuses on the preservation of natural resources and reconsideration of existing settlement paradigms toward a more prosperous and sustainable future for Puerto Rico.
Stephen SY LAU is born andraised in Hong Kong and received education and professional training in Hong Kong and London.
