Crowdsourcing urban form and function

International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2015
Urban form and function have been studied extensively in urban planning and geographical information science. However, gaining a greater understanding of how they merge to define the urban morphology remains a substantial scientific challenge. Toward this goal, this paper addresses the opportunities presented by the emergence of crowdsourced data to ...

Raster Analysis of Urban Form [PDF]

open access: possibleEnvironment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 2004
A new paradigm for investigating the environment consequences of urban texture is proposed. Using raster-based models and software algorithms derived from image processing the authors develop efficient methods of measuring geometric parameters and predicting radiation exchange.

Technological Change and Urban Form [PDF]

open access: possibleEnvironment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 1984
In this paper the author previews a current international study of impacts of technological change on urban activities and interactions, and hence on urban built form. He considers various trends and factors of technological change, and the mechanisms through which they are influencing urban form. The nature of this impact is also discussed.

Urban and Architectural Forms

2016
The contribution is part of the debate on trans-scalar design, outlining a role for design within a system of strategies. The river courses, natural infrastructures yesterday and holders of a denied natural identity today, provide specific scope for reflection, starting from research experiences within the territories of the Metropolitan City of Turin,

The study of urban form in the Netherlands

Urban Morphology, 2016
The study of urban form in the Netherlands has been heavily influenced by the Modern Movement and characterized by strong disciplinary specialization. On the one hand there is the distinction between art and engineering and on the other the search for instrumental universal rationality.

Urban Form and Accessibility to Jobs

Environment and Urbanization ASIA, 2011
Accessibility is a comprehensive performance measure for the integration between land use and transport systems. In this research, two accessibility measures were applied to evaluate the integration between transport and land use in Hanoi metropolitan area: Vietnam, which has a typical monocentric urban form in the current situation, and Randstad ...

Innovations in Urban Design and Urban Form

Journal of Planning Education and Research, 2008
How might innovations in urban design influence urban form? This paper focuses on two types of innovations—identified here as degenerative variations and integrative paradigms—to examine their impact on urban form and to discuss the implications for public policy.

Urban Form and Resources

Regional Studies, 1967
Stone P. A. (1967) Urban Form and Resources, Reg. Studies 1, 93–100. Little is known about the value for money offered by different urban forms or the demand they make on resources. Since some factors are presently imponderable, it is necessary to restrict the study to the costs of constructing and operating settlements.

Urban Form and the Sustainable Prosperous City - The International Seminar on Urban Form

2021
A city is an organism made of "fabrics". Social, economic, cultural, smart and environmental fabrics, on whose interaction depends the form, the functioning and the very life of a city, its urban fabrics, its public spaces. Reading and designing the city of the 21st century is therefore a complex process that involves very different needs, interests ...
