- Growing Compact: Urban Form, Density and Sustainability (2017, Earthscan-Routledge) is an edited book by Lehmann & Bay. Lehmann co-edited this work, contributed two single authored chapters and two co-authored chapters, and peer-reviewed 19 out of the 23 chapters.
Lehmann’s two single authored chapters are; ‘The challenge of transforming a low-density city into a compact city. The case of the City of Perth, Australia’ (pp. 69-93) and ‘Imagining optimum, not hyper, density: Lessons learnt from high-density cases and a proposed framework for optimal-quality density’ (pp. 319-342).
Lehmann’s co-authored chapters are; ‘Compact urban form, density and sustainability: correlations and holistic approaches’ (pp. 3-21) and ‘Housing innovation for compact resilient cities’ (pp 287-300).
The work presents contributions from 35 internationally eminent scholars, thinkers and practitioners whose theoretical and practical works address city planning, urban and architectural design for density and sustainability at various levels, including challenges in building resilience against climate change and natural disasters, capacity and integration for growth and adaptability, ageing, community and security, vegetation, food production, compact resource systems and regeneration.
This book explores and unravels the phenomena, links and benefits between density, compactness and the sustainability of cities. It addresses the socio-climatic implications of density and takes a more holistic approach to sustainable urbanism by understanding the correlations between the social, economic and environmental dimensions of the city, and the challenges and opportunities with density.
