Description

The need to better understand the actualities of
urban redevelopment has been called upon numerous
times. The major objective of this work is to
discover or develop a new approach in urban
redevelopment in order to make downtown areas more
sustainable. This work proposed the concept of
sustainable urban redevelopment, which combines
urban redevelopment programs as a process and urban
design as a substantial tool in the battle over
sustainable values. Sustainable urban redevelopment
is a new approach to balance the economic, social,
and environmental outcomes through the urban
redevelopment process in which social and
environmental multipliers are used to enhance
economic as well as social and environmental
benefits. The work supports that good urban design
leads to high level of satisfaction from occupants,
while it also uncover the underlying structure that
accounts for the relationship between a set of urban
design features and triple-values (economic
viability, social benefit, and environmental
support).
