Environmental sustainability of urban expansion: Implications for transport emissions, air pollution, and city growth by Susana Lopez-Aparicio, Henrik Grythe, Arkadiusz Drabicki, Konrad Chwastek, Kamila Toboła, Lidia Górska-Niemas, Urszula Kierpiec, Miha Markelj, Joanna Strużewska, Bartosz Kud, Gabriela Sousa Santos

“…Several traffic abatement strategies were simulated, and in all simulations a compact city consistently yields the largest reductions in CO2 emissions and NO2 levels, implying that the best abatement strategy for combating negative consequences of sprawl is to reduce sprawling. In both city layouts, network-wide improvements of public transport travel times gave significantly reduced emissions. …”

Les siphons en terre cuite du monde romain : l’exemple de l’aqueduc d’Almuñécar (Andalousie, Espagne) by Elena H. Sánchez López

“…From the analysis of this structure, both through archaeological remains and medieval descriptions of the city, we can conclude that the siphon system had two remarkable technical peculiarities: it was a double siphon, where the two sections connected through a columnaria, an air elimination device located at the most problematic point in the layout of the water piping; and the pressure pipes were made of terracotta.The chosen material matched the recommendations made by Vitruvius, since he concluded that, by comparison with lead pipes, terracotta pipes were cheaper, faster to repair, and guaranteed higher quality water.Despite Vitruvius’ advice, terracotta pipes do not seem to have been the favourite choice of Roman engineers, who also used lead and stone pipes. …”
