Criteria & Practices<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

1. Assessing Sustainable Urban Environments depends from the levels of observation<\/strong> \u2013 individual buildings, urban neighbourhoods and entire cities and towns, as well as the period of reference<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2. The book proposes a critical assessment of the techniques used to assess urban environments, including factors affecting climate change<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3. In line with these assessments, the book presents a number of best practices<\/strong>, including Urban Transport in France (Peter Hall\u2019s last paper), Manchester\u2019s waterfront, Amsterdam\u2019s ring canals, London\u2019s King\u2018s Cross development, Hamburg\u2019s energy efficiency district, the Lee Kuan Yea World City Prizes Bilbao, New York and Suzhou (see illustration), Singapore being their common model, and the new university town of Louvain near Brussels. The presentation focuses on the cases of Singapore (state), Bilbao (city), and Louvain (part of a city).<\/p>\n
