Scale Jumping: Human – Built Environment Interactions

The relationships between people and the built environment for scale jumping are explored in guidelines with best practice examples for policymakers and developers showing different ways of interpreting scale jumping to meet climate neutrality goals. In doing so, it clearly illustrates the relations between concepts and actual implementations, and local factors such as co-creation for the inclusion of citizen participation. Different factors and interactions will be defined in the first section, in view of the many and varied ways to jump in scale. It begins with an exploration of the overall contextual considerations and how scale jumping may be considered within the Restore Project. In the second section, district-level innovations implemented within three different Lighthouse Cities (LHC) will be illustrated as part of the Smarter Together case study. All project partners benefit from an open exchange with stakeholders from academia, local government, local citizens, and innovative SMEs. The relationship between health and the built environment with the essential factors for scale jumping will be explored in the third section. Several international building assessment tools and their relations with Human Building Interactions will be described in the last section, giving special consideration to the impacts of building quality on human health and healthy indoor environments.
