What?
To develop a standard way to analyze the resource performance of
neighborhoods

Why?
For improved understanding on relationships between urban
configuration and resource consumption and potentials

To inform urban design through guidelines and scenario testing

Analyzing the Clusters


Statistically relate clusters with resource performance
measures (consumption of electricity, gas, materials)

 1. What is the specific tendency for each cluster
  variable?

 2. Is the clustering meaningful in terms of energy
 consumption? What are the differences?

Outline

1 intro to urban metabolism & global dynamics

2 regional scale analysis: Costa Rica & Florida

        3 city scale analysis: US cities

      4 neighbourhood analysis: London

        5 conclusions & future work
Conclusions and Outlook

1 Integration of spatial components and urban modelling with urban
metabolism is becoming easier to do

2 Standardized analysis is an useful approach for estimating gross resource
performances

3 More work is needed using bottom-up analysis for validation in this work
