Abstract The features of the urban built environment influence the daily activities and health behaviors of people living in cities. Thus, it is possible to design cities in ways that can reduce poor health and support the well-being of urban residents.

Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics and Games, 2011
We address the open problem of spatial distribution of vegetation in urban environments by introducing a user-guided simulation and procedural system for integrating plants into the interactive design process of 3D urban models. Our approach uses as input 3D geometry of an urban layout from which it infers initial conditions and parameters of ...

Urban design is the process of designing and shaping the city, involving large-scale buildings, streets, and public space organizations. Accompanied by technological improvement, and increasing computational power, new methods and technologies become more and more important in urban design.

Urban planning and urban design
2018Urban planning and urban design have a critical role to play in the global response to climate change. Actions that simultaneously reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and build resilience to climate risks should be prioritized at all urban scales – metropolitan region, city, district/neighborhood, block, and building.

Urban design is about making public places useful and beautiful. It concerns compactly built forms with attractive streetscape and variety in architectural expressions. Moreover, urban design is about making spaces between buildings socially liveable and environmentally sustainable.

Nexus of Urban Climate and Urban Design
Cities are challenged by many problems, where problems related to urban climates are very critical. However, existing efforts in both academia and industries are not enough to close the gaps among urban climate science, mitigation and adaptation strategies, and planning and design practices. This pushes relevant stakeholders to deepen basic and appliedHe, Baojie +2 more

Urban Morphology in Urban Design
2018Urban design engages urban morphology when the questions of where and why are paramount—that is, where and why a building or site needs to be designed, a landscape enhanced, a street calmed, or a garden planted. This framework for teaching and practicing urban design is fundamentally different from an orientation that stresses balance, texture, and ...

Urban Design for Urban Renewal
1990Urban renewal involves changes in the physical fabric of cities. These changes can make the city function better or worse and they can make the city look better or worse. Each change can be initiated without regard or with inadequate response to these two issues or it can be initiated in such a way as to improve the functioning and the look of the city.

The Design Process of an Urban Experience
2014In this paper we will be investigating the relevance of artistic practice-based research as a design method for interactive co-design works. Our study is based on Are You for Real?, an urban co-creation project which was developed by a cross-disciplinary project team with co-design contributions by students and youngsters.
