Designing for the Future: A Resilience Framework for Neighborhoods Driven by Energy Leadership

This paper examines the synergies between Meerow's Network Material and Energy Flows framework and the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Design) v5 rating system in the context of designing and renovating green neighborhoods. By evaluating the connections between these two systems, the study aims to enhance sustainability and resilience in urban planning and design. The research identifies key areas of alignment and divergence, such as resource management, urban infrastructure, and socio-economic dynamics. By providing a framework and mind map on the resilience of green neighborhoods, this study highlights the importance of integrating environmental, social, and economic dimensions into green neighborhood design, emphasizing the role of LEED and Meerow's frameworks in guiding this process. The findings underscore the potential of these systems to promote equitable, healthy, and resilient communities, providing valuable insights for policymakers, designers, and urban planners.
