TL;DRAbstract

Urban growth is connected to increasing demands of housing and working areas. A large proportion of the urban growth occurs at the urban fringe and urban hinterland. Urban growth in the form of sprawl can lead to a separation between workplace and housing thereby increasing the need of cars to commute. That in turn cause various environmental problems. In order to ameliorate this problem, the idea of the compact city has been presented. However, densification can imply a loss of other important urban quality factors of, such as green spaces. A reduction of urban green structure can lead to degradation of ecosystem services, such as storm water treatment, air quality, recreation and aesthetic. The aim of this study is to develop tools for enhancing the possibilities for win-win solutions in the development of urban environments. The study considers the function of urban form in sustainable development. The sustainable development concept considered is urban form as a tool for ecological
