The First Two Decades of Smart-City Research: A Bibliometric Analysis (2017)
Journal Article
Mora, L., Bolici, R., & Deakin, M. (2017). The First Two Decades of Smart-City Research: A Bibliometric Analysis. Journal of Urban Technology, 24(1), 3-27. https://doi.org/10.1080/10630732.2017.1285123

This paper reports on the first two decades of research on smart cities by conducting a bibliometric analysis of the literature published between 1992 and 2012. The analysis shows that smart city research is fragmented and lacks cohesion, and its gro... Read More about The First Two Decades of Smart-City Research: A Bibliometric Analysis.

Mitchell's book on the City of Bits, sets out a vision of urban life literally done to bits. His next book e-topia, provides the counter-point to this vision of urban life and scenario where the city is no longer left in bits and pieces, but a place...

Drawing upon the smart experiences of "world class" cities in n.America, Canada and Europe, this book provides the evidence to show how entrepreneurship-based and market dependent representations of knowledge production are now being replaced by a co... Read More about Creating smart-er cities.

The place-based impact of built environments: Diabetes, living conditions, homes and neighbourhoods (2014)
Journal Article
Sidawi, B., Deakin, M., & Al-Hariri, M. T. A. (2016). The place-based impact of built environments: Diabetes, living conditions, homes and neighbourhoods. Indoor and Built Environment, 25(3), 495-508. https://doi.org/10.1177/1420326x14556909

Abstract
Many studies have demonstrated the adverse effect built environments have on health and differentiated between their direct and indirect impacts. In the case of diabetes and other chronic diseases, such studies concentrate on the direct imp...

Demonstrating How Urban Morphology Matters: Reaching Beyond the Geometry of Building Design, Construction Systems and Occupational Behaviours and Towards Broader Context-Specific Transformations. (2013)
Journal Article
Deakin, M., Reid, A., & Campbell, F. H. (2013). Demonstrating How Urban Morphology Matters: Reaching Beyond the Geometry of Building Design, Construction Systems and Occupational Behaviours and Towards Broader Context-Specific Transformations. Environmental management and sustainable development, 2, 101. https://doi.org/10.5296/emsd.v2i2.4307

Recent studies of urban morphology, suggest the design, layout and texture of district centres, neighbourhoods and buildings have as much a bearing on levels of energy consumption and rates of carbon emission as either buildings or their occupation....

The need to protect the environment from the wanton ecological destruction of unfettered economic growth and conspicuous consumption is unquestionable. What is still in question, however, is how environmental assessment methods can be used as a means... Read More about Sustainable urban development: Use of the environmental assessment methods.

The mass-retrofitting of an energy efficient low carbon dioxide zone (2012)
Journal Article
Deakin, M., Reid, A., & Campbell, F. H. (2012). The mass-retrofitting of an energy efficient low carbon dioxide zone. Proceedings of the ICE - Energy, 165, 197-208. https://doi.org/10.1680/ener.12.00004

This paper offers a case-study analysis of a recent attempt to reduce energy consumption and the associated levels of carbon dioxide emissions by way of and through what has been termed ‘an active and integrated institutional arrangement’. It involve... Read More about The mass-retrofitting of an energy efficient low carbon dioxide zone.
