Maximizing reader insights into the strategic value of mass retrofits in the residential
property sector through a detailed case study analysis of the 'Hackbridge project' this book
uses this development to broaden understanding of how planners may perform urban regeneration
in accordance with a centralized plan. This book demonstrates how urban morphology matters not
only with respect to either the geometry of design and construction systems or occupational
behaviours but with regards to the potential with which the planning (re)development design
construction use and occupation of buildings has to not only lower levels of energy
consumption and rates of carbon emission but also to reduce global warming associated with
climate change. Delivering a critique of the state-of-the-art on urban morphology the geometry
of design typologies construction systems and occupational behaviours and armed with the
critical insights this offers this book offers a context-specific analysis of how institutions
can begin to actively plan for integrate and sustain the development of energy efficient-low
carbon zones.
