Shlomo Angel: The Anatomy of Density
Serious concerns with global warming have been translated into urgent calls for increasing urban densities, as higher densities have been found to be associated with lower carbon emissions from both vehicles and buildings. Still, attempts at effective densification have generally failed and urban densities over the world continue to decline. Calls for densification without making room for it has resulted in serious housing supply bottlenecks in many cities and have rendered their housing unaffordable.
In this lecture, Prof. Shlomo Angel advocates that for affordable densification to be successful, we must better understand the anatomy of density or the factors that constitute urban density. Such decomposition into factors allows us, for the first time, to begin to understand how different cities acquire their density. The anatomy of density lecture offers a novel outline for a comprehensive room-making strategy for city densification, addressing six factors that constitute urban density.
The Global Urban Lectures are 15-minute lectures on themes related to sustainable urbanisation, delivered by renowned experts, UN-Habitat partners and UN-Habitat staff. The lectures have been ranked among the best MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) on cities.
The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN–Habitat) is the United Nations agency working towards a better urban future. Its mission is to promote socially and environmentally sustainable human settlements development and the achievement of adequate shelter for all.
