Description
Summary:[...]it is crucial to develop new approaches and schemes based on combining LCA with other appropriate performance criteria in order to more broadly assess the sustainability of a district. [...]the United Nations has periodically debated the need for urban planning activities to explore new models and integrated growth strategies for a resilient environment. [...]with the aim of evaluating the suitability of the defined urban retrofit strategies, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology was applied at two different scales. [...]Grünau has big potential for urban and housing development and has been the focus of several studies and integrated development plans.
