Urban green spaces in the mid 21st century scenarios and trajectories for the future cityscapes – case study of a North European city
Presentation / Conference
European city. Presented at Urban Green Spaces - A Key for sustainable cities, Sofia, Bulgaria

Urbanization is the dominant land use change across the world.
Population growth, climate change and technological change are identifi ed as three factors that have
paramount importance in the historic, contemporary and future development of urban... Read More about Urban green spaces in the mid 21st century scenarios and trajectories for the future cityscapes – case study of a North European city.

Atmospheric acoustic interferometer tomography of temperature and winds
Presentation / Conference
Bradley, S., von Hünerbein, S., & Haddad, A. Atmospheric acoustic interferometer tomography of temperature and winds. Presented at International Workshop on Tomography and Acoustics, Leipzig, Germany

A technique is described for multiple-path propagation time measurements in the surface layer of the atmosphere. This is based on solving simple bi-directional ray tracing equations on successively higher penetrating paths using propagation times for...

The economic theory of production conceals opportunities for sustainability improvement
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L., & Tommelein, I. The economic theory of production conceals opportunities for sustainability improvement. Presented at 17th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, National Pingtung University of Science and Technology, LCI-Taiwan and LCI-Asia, The Grand Hotel, Taipei, Taiwan

In analyses of action options regarding sustainability, the economic theory of production is often used as a conceptual starting point. We contend that this theory is deficient, even counterproductive. Especially, we argue that effective options exis...

Analysis framework for the interaction between lean construction and building information modelling
Presentation / Conference
Sacks, R., Dave, B., Koskela, L., & Owen, R. Analysis framework for the interaction between lean construction and building information modelling. Presented at 17th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, National Pingtung University of Science and Technology, LCI-Taiwan and LCI-Asia, The Grand Hotel, Taipei, Taiwan

Building with Building Information Modelling (BIM) changes design and production processes. But can BIM be used to support process changes designed according to lean production and lean construction principles? To begin to answer this question we pro...

Last planner system : experiences from pilot implementation in the Middle East
Presentation / Conference
Alsehaimi, A., Tzortzopoulos, P., & Koskela, L. Last planner system : experiences from pilot implementation in the Middle East. Presented at 17th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, National Pingtung University of Science and Technology, LCI-Taiwan and LCI-Asia, The Grand Hotel, Taipei, Taiwan

The work described in this paper is devoted to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing Last Planner to improve construction planning practice in Saudi construction industry. Firstly, the primary results of implementing Last Planner System (LPS) in... Read More about Last planner system : experiences from pilot implementation in the Middle East.
