Description

Building on previous Dense+Green publications, this book explores sustainable integrated districts as models for high-density, high-liveability cities. It highlights how green elements are strategically deployed and integrated into broader systemic solutions at an urban scale. Beyond identifying key factors for successful spatial implementation, the book examines the planning instruments and governance arrangements enabling such developments across diverse socio-spatial contexts. A collaboration between the Singapore-ETH Centre, SUTD, and ETH Zurich, the publication provides in-depth analyses of international case studies, including one-north in Singapore, King's Cross in London, and Quayside in Toronto. It also explores urban green development within Zurich's existing fabric. In-depth analysis of international case studies Integrating urban and architectural design, planning tools, and socio-spatial contexts With a foreword by Kees Christiaanse
