Sustainable urban forms: eco-neighbourhoods in Europe
Far from specifying any form, the term “eco-neighbourhood” is designed to symbolically embrace a set of invariants seen both in high-efficiency building designs and environmental resource cycle management infrastructures, within a particularly wide range of settlement morphologies and resulting types of architecture. This paper first pinpoints the common features of some pioneering eco-neighbourhoods across Europe, and then concentrates on the degree to which disciplinary advances in environmental resource management have been accompanied by the same attention to spatial configuration. Through a critical reading of certain “sustainable urban forms” designed to combine material facts with formal and relational aspects, which are more difficult to measure, this paper then strives to create a dialogue between the different strands of knowledge involved in urban planning, as they are called upon to search for a balance between population, resources and environment.
