Abstract

This chapter describes the new WikiPLACE urban design decision support tool that was developed as an outgrowth of this research. It applies the prototype to “back-cast” the GHG emissions of a range of known examples of urban systems. It compares the resulting predictions with known measurements to provide an initial evaluation of the efficacy of the tool.
