Abstract

In the context of increasing climate concerns, this proposal highlights the vital need to address the unique challenges faced by under- resourced communities in urban space for sustainability. Emphasizing the social vulnerability of current top- down approaches prioritizing universal strategies, such as energy efficiency and waste reduction. The reality is that these approaches, while having a more descriptive eff ort as a whole, often fall short in acknowledging the diverse and specific needs of individual communities, this research advocates for a framework that incorporates the general scope but still recognizes the intricacies of each community. This nuanced understanding is particularly crucial in communities heavily affected by cumulative impacts within the urban structure, a point underscored by the Roof Depot case study. Within the context of the Anthropocene era, there's a pronounced pivot towards holistic sustainability, seeking not only decarbonization but also the assurance of the well- being of all residents. This is especially crucial for those residing in under- resourced communities, who have often been marginalized in the pursuit of a green future.
