Air pollution (from vehicular traffic) has been monitored at three locations in central Oxford on the High Street, St Aldates and St Ebbes (background monitoring station). There is a further monitoring site situated in East Oxford, but this one is not considered to be central. Based on long-term monitoring at these monitoring stations, a deliberation of urban sustainability is presented. Implications are considered for long-term planning and green design in particular is part of the discussion. More specifically, urban greening strategies are presented as (soft engineering) approaches to controlling air pollution problems at this urban location. In the context of low carbon cities, green walls are assessed as they affect urban greening and energy conservation, as they enhance insulation on the exterior of solid wall buildings. Urban sustainability is best monitored using decades of data rather than just years. The Oxford Transport Strategy (OTS) was implemented in central Oxford, UK in 2001 and n | | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | | 关键词 | Energy Conservation; Environmental Monitoring and Air Quality; European Historic City Centre; Green Wal | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-20657-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-20656-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-20657-8Series ISSN 2211-4165 Series E-ISSN 2211-4173 | | issn_series | 2211-4165 | | copyright | The Author(s) 2015 |
