The Five Controversies of Market-Driven Sustainable Neighborhoods: An Alternative Approach to Post-Occupancy Evaluation

Nermin Dessouky et al.

Summary: The increased involvement of the private sector in building sustainable communities is often met with skepticism. This paper investigates the fundamental challenges of the market model of sustainable neighborhoods, mapping core controversies through the lenses of different actors and providing recommendations for addressing these challenges in future developments. The study found five central controversies, including branding, innovation, behavior, governance, and market controversies, which are closely associated with the performance of privately developed sustainable neighborhoods.

Assessing contextual factors for sustainable development: a case study of LEED-certified projects in Jordan

Genell Wells Ebbini et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the factors affecting the adoption of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green-building certification system in Jordan. The study finds that while obtaining LEED certification is financially feasible in Jordan, there is limited interest among developers due to skepticism towards green building concepts and a lack of local expertise in green technologies. The study suggests that green building initiatives should focus on education and public promotion activities to overcome these barriers.

Neighborhood sustainability assessment tools: A review of success factors

Ayyoob Shari et al.

Summary: The study identifies two major success categories in the development and implementation of neighborhood sustainability assessment tools, namely structural and procedural. Structural successes include tool improvement over time, provision of measurable indicators for assessment, and recognition of context-specific issues through developing some local tools. Procedural successes involve the promotion of sustainable design, improvements in environmental performance, and usefulness for identifying priority development locations. Further research on other existing tools is needed to gain a better understanding of the successes.

Urban sustainability assessment: An overview and bibliometric analysis

Ayyoob Sharifi

Summary: In the late 1980s, studies on urban sustainability assessment began to emerge, with the field growing rapidly and diversifying to recognize the multi-dimensional characteristics of urban sustainability. Despite the dominance of environmental aspects, major socio-economic issues such as equity, justice, and public engagement are not well represented. Sustainable development indicators, energy, green infrastructure, water, land use, and urban design are major thematic areas, with the first three playing more important roles in structuring field development.
