本論文は、ニューヨーク市の住宅促進政策（City of Yes for Housing Opportunity）がもたらす建設廃材問題と埋蔵炭素削減の可能性を分析する。近隣規模の建物調査と再開発評価モデルを提示し、素材再利用と炭素削減を住宅供給と同等に重要視すべきと主張する。
English
This paper analyzes the embodied carbon implications of New York City's housing policy (City of Yes for Housing Opportunity), which may generate large amounts of construction waste. It presents a neighborhood-scale method to evaluate building lots for redevelopment, balancing embodied carbon savings through material reuse with the urgent need for new housing.

日本のGX文脈において
日本の都市開発でも、既存ストック活用と低炭素化が課題であり、本論文の方法論は特に東京などの再開発地区で参考になる。SSBJ開示基準におけるScope 3（建設時の排出）対応にも示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper provides a practical framework for integrating embodied carbon considerations into urban redevelopment policies. It aligns with global trends in circular economy and climate disclosure (e.g., ISSB, CSRD) by quantifying material reuse benefits at the neighborhood scale.

📄 Abstract（原文）
As cities encourage increased housing development, it is critical that they implement effective strategies for reusing materials in order to reduce embodied carbon. Cities across America are creating policies to enable expanded housing construction. A notable example is New York City, which in December 2024 passed City of Yes for Housing Opportunity (CHO), a series of updates to the city’s building code aimed at easing the way for the construction of new housing. It is estimated that CHO updates will enable the construction of up to 80,000 new residential units. Components of CHO such as ‘Town Center Zoning’ (TCZ) and ‘Transit-Oriented Development’ (TOD) may have a considerable impact on urban development in less dense areas of New York City. CHO allows for lots currently containing single story commercial buildings in TCZ and TOD zones to add up to four stories of residential units. CHO has the potential to produce a tremendous amount of landfill material, presenting both an opportunity and a challenge from an embodied carbon perspective. Presented here is a method of evaluating building lots for redevelopment by considering embodied carbon in existing materials, potential savings through reuse, expected carbon impact of new development, and potential number of residential units. Students used accepted industry practices and software and worked with officials from the New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC) as well as the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) throughout the project in order to maintain accuracy in the model presented below. Employing a neighborhood-wide survey of existing buildings and potential redevelopment enabled by CHO, this project situates material and carbon considerations as equally important as the urgent need for additional housing.
