Design Strategies related to a series of European, American and Asian cities affected by poor air quality condition, are critically discussed. Because effective policies to reduce carbon emissions take a long time to initiate, urban planners and architects have the unique opportunity to creatively re-examine city streets, landscape and buildings as active solutions to inspire sustainable living and combat poor air quality.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.14.025.2475}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/czasopismo-techniczne/article/future-cities-design-opportunities-for-the-improvement-of-air-quality} }
