  • legitimacy for climate policy politics and participation in the Green City of freiburg
    Local Environment, 2013
    Co-Authors: Annica Kronsell
    Abstract:

    Cities are crucial to mitigating climate change and can serve as sites for innovations, providing examples of ways to conduct effective politics in transport, energy and land-use. What does it take to become a model for climate politics? This article argues that a few innovative measures will not suffice. A common vision based on broad legitimacy is crucial to achieving this position. Using a theoretical framework on input and output legitimacy with the City of Freiburg as the case, this article explores the political dimensions of the climate innovative City. The study shows that a specific kind of “Green conservative” politics and a consensual view on climate issues across parties have been very important to creating political legitimacy. This has been supported by extraordinary and extensive citizen engagement in combination with the actual output, i.e. what environmental policies have delivered. The legitimacy for the Green City model also means that Freiburg is viewed as a highly livable City, in tur...

  • ambient urban media composition for sustainable lifestyle of smart Green City based on the user interaction with visualization of indoor air pollution
    Journal of the Architectural Institute of Korea Planning & Design, 2013
    Co-Authors: Yoon Choe, Song Yumi
    Abstract:

    This research proposes the framework of ambient urban media that can affect the user lifestyle through the nudge effect rather than relying on suppliers-centered data visualization. To verify how the lifestyle changes by using ambient urban media, we choose a place vulnerable to the misuse by users within the university campus as a reduced version of urban public space. Because the corridor is used as a public space by many unspecified people within building, eco-villain tends not to spontaneously clean up the space like urban public spaces. In order to construct the nudge environment, air pollution detecting sensors are installed within the indoor space, and visual messages are sent to the students via diverse visualization of interactive physical model when the air quality deteriorates. In addition, we will testify how much the framework of ambient urban media can affect sustainable behavior. Positive results will be applied to the public urban sculpture planning and individual assistant system for sustainable lifestyle.

  • urban infoscape for sustainable lifestyle of smart Green City
    Cooperative Design Visualization and Engineering, 2012
    Co-Authors: Yoon Choe, Ingeun Yi, Yumi Song
    Abstract:

    This research proposes the framework of urban infoscape that can affect the user lifestyle through the nudge effect rather than relying on suppliers-centered data visualization. To verify how the lifestyle changes by using urban infoscape, we choose a place vulnerable to the misuse by users within the university campus as a reduced version of urban public space. We investigate various methodologies of information visualization with a small-scale experiment. In addition, we will testify how much the framework of urban infoscape can affect sustainable behavior. Positive results will be applied to the public urban sculpture planning and individual assistant system for sustainable lifestyle.

  • living the Green City freiburg s solarsiedlung between narratives and practices of urban sustainable development
    Local Environment, 2014
    Co-Authors: Tim Freytag, Stefan Gossling, Samuel Mossner
    Abstract:

    The solar settlement (Solarsiedlung) in Freiburg, Germany, has been widely hailed as an eco-City or Green City neighbourhood and a blueprint for sustainable urban development. However, as there is a noticeable lack of critical analysis of what constitutes Solarsiedlung as an “eco-City”, this paper studies narratives and practices of sustainable urban development. First, we look at Solarsiedlung as a best-practice model – a narrative that was produced and perpetuated by architects, urban planners, investors and academics celebrating this neighbourhood as a technologically leapfrogging, economically sound and socially integrated project. Second, we explore the everyday practices and lived experience of the residents in Solarsiedlung. Bringing together these two perspectives, we contribute to a more comprehensive understanding and critical reading of the interplay between the ecological, economic and social dimensions of sustainable development as seen from different viewpoints. Findings indicate that Solars...

  • Green City model as an urban strategy: Hanoi between international practices and local assemblage
    The Town Planning Review, 2020
    Co-Authors: Divya Leducq, Helga-jane Scarwell
    Abstract:

    This paper examines the circulation and implementation of the Green City model as a tool for town and regional planning in a middle-income country. The increasing number of publications that deal with models as references, practices and policies mainly investigate the way urban forms are generated and the role of international networks. However, these processes have been less investigated in the Global South where the sustainable challenges are vast. The South-East Asian City of Hanoi provides a unique opportunity to analyse how the Green City model circulates and takes root locally as a planning strategy in a large metropolis.
