Title: | Evaluating urban housing development patterns in developing countries : case study of Worn-out Urban Fabrics in Iran | Authors: | Sarvari, H Mehrabi, A Chan, DWM Cristofaro, M |
Issue Date: | Jul-2021 | Source: | Sustainable Cities and Society, July 2021, v. 70, 102941 | Abstract: | The restoration of Worn-out Urban Fabrics (WoUFs), i.e., the disfiguration of fabric components of the city from their main shape, and the implementation of the urban housing development plan have always been pivotal activities for designing livable cities – especially in developing countries. Prior research, however, did not identify an appropriate model of sustainable housing development for the recovery of WoUFs. To fill this gap, housing development patterns – i.e., supportive housing, Mehr housing, rental, and social housing – aimed at restoring the WoUF of the Hemmatabad district in Isfahan city (Iran) were studied. Expert opinions, on the criteria affecting the selection of housing development patterns, from 40 professionals in urban management and urban development models were collected and then analyzed by the Analytic Hierarchical Process and VIKOR method. It resulted that, in order to revive the WoUF of Hemmatabad, social housing is the more desirable pattern of housing development (Qi = 1) compared to supportive housing (Qi = 0.911), Mehr housing (Qi = 0.117) and rental housing (Qi = 0.004). Results help governments of developing countries in directing their effort in the decision of which housing development pattern for WoUFs to implement. | Keywords: | Housing patterns Social housing Sustainable cities Urban development Worn-out Urban Fabric |
