E.M.E.R.G.E. (Empowering Mixed-Use Ecosystem Realms for Revenue, Growth, & Expression).
Abstract: Contemporary urban life is increasingly fragmented, with learning, working, socializing, & leisure dispersed across disconnected parts of the city. This disconnection leads to long commutes, enhances dependence on mobility, increases daily stress, and weakens public life & community interaction. Rigid zoning laws & mono-functional building typologies fail to respond to the hybrid, layered, & dynamic patterns of everyday urban life, particularly within the context of emerging digital economies and evolving …

Monitoring Nature of Nairobi City Land Features from Landsat 5 Images Using Index-Based Mapping
Abstract: Urban environments are complex and heterogeneous ecosystems characterized by mixed land use and land cover (LULC). They form important centers of social integration and generation of national wealth. However, urban areas especially in developing countries suffer from poor planning; mismanagement and uncoordination. Evaluation of dynamics driven by LULC changes in these ecosystems is key in management of urban areas. In evaluating urban environments, land use and land cover mapping using …
