This document discusses changing urban planning paradigms to focus on mobility rather than just transit. Key points include:
1. Mobility planning should consider the entire experience of moving through a city, including micro-mobility options and public spaces between transit points.
2. Pilot projects and rapid prototyping can exemplify changes to encourage more sustainable behaviors and more effectively use resources.
3. Measuring people's behaviors and outcomes related to health, happiness and safety can help create incentives for sustainable transportation choices over just measuring infrastructure usage.
This document discusses the concept of compact cities and their role in sustainable urban development. It begins by defining compact cities as high density, mixed use developments with clear boundaries and protected green spaces that encourage public transit use. Compact cities can promote sustainability by reducing travel distances, efficiently using land, and supporting social and economic activity. The document then reviews the historical origins and development of compact city ideas. It discusses how compact cities aim to create efficient, resource-saving urban landscapes that address sustainability challenges like urban sprawl and emissions. Finally, it concludes compact cities can accommodate growth while maintaining environmental character through optimal land use.
This document summarizes a presentation on using Space Syntax technology for sustainable urban planning and design. It describes how Space Syntax can be used to create low-carbon masterplans, reduce energy consumption in cities, and was applied to a competition for expanding Beijing's central business district. Space Syntax measures the efficiency of street networks to assess transport and encourages walking, cycling, and public transit over private vehicles.

Tactical urbanism describes grassroots activities in urban settings that are short-term, low-cost, and iterative interventions intended to improve neighborhoods. While originally developed in high-income countries as activist projects initiated by citizens in response to lack of government action, examples in low- and middle-income countries described as tactical urbanism tend to involve local governments or NGOs and less of an activism element. Case studies identified include initiatives related to road safety in Brazil, India, Tanzania and Chile, as well as repurposing space to improve retail in Egypt and China. There was little evidence found of tactical urbanism being used in the COVID-19 response in low- and middle-income countries.

Urban planning involves the design and regulation of land use in urban environments. It impacts the physical form, economic and social aspects of cities. Key aspects of urban planning include infrastructure development, transportation systems, environmental protection, and allocation of green spaces. Urban planning theories guide the process and include rational planning, synoptic planning, and participatory planning. Planning occurs at various levels from national policy to municipal land use plans and master plans. Standardized indicators now exist to measure the performance and quality of life in cities through the ISO international standard on city indicators.
Summer University 2013: URBACT Talk - Camilla Van Deurs "CITIES FOR PEOPLE"URBACT
Talk given by Camilla van Deurs - Architect MAA, PhD, partner at Gehl Architects - at the URBACT Summer University 2013 at the Trinity College, Dublin.
The document discusses how urban design and public spaces can impact public health and quality of life. It notes that while we understand habitats for animals, we do not always design cities in a way that supports human needs. Cities are often designed primarily around traffic and economic growth rather than social and physical needs of residents. However, design elements like pedestrian infrastructure, public transportation, parks and open spaces can encourage walking and cycling, which are beneficial to both physical and mental health. When cities prioritize people and public life over traffic, it can create a more livable environment and tap into the "urban health resource" of public spaces.

Urban form refers to the size, shape, and patterns of development of a city. It is influenced by geography, history, transportation networks, and planning or lack thereof. Common urban forms include the compact city, sprawling city, concentric/radial city, and linear city. Understanding a city's form provides insights into how residents utilize and experience urban space and helps in planning for better connectivity, mobility, and quality of life.

The document discusses the key elements to consider when designing streets for livable cities, including pedestrians, vehicles, parking, and transportation options. It emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach that considers all users and aspects, such as transportation, safety, the environment, and the economy. The goal is to create streets that are social spaces where people can easily and safely walk, bike, access transit, and spend time, rather than only focus on traffic flow.
The document discusses smart cities, defining them as urban areas that use technology and data to improve infrastructure and services for citizens. It provides an overview of key smart city components like smart transportation, buildings, infrastructure and governance solutions. The document also outlines India's Smart Cities Mission initiative and its goals of improving quality of life through efficient urban planning and management. Case studies and literature reviews on smart city projects are presented to illustrate best practices and research in the field. Civil engineers play an important role in designing sustainable and efficient infrastructure to enable smart city solutions.
Planning as a discipline pays inadequate attention to evaluating its success and failures. As a result, planning “successes” often get defined by others, usually as a lack of success. John Landis, Crossways Professor and Department Chair of City and Regional Planning at the University of Pennsylvania, will provide insight and case studies on planning success stories, as well as provide
advice on how to institutionalize success into our efforts. Professor Landis teaches courses in urban economics, property development, land use planning, and green development, among
others. His research interests span a variety of urban development topics including growth management, infill housing, and the geography of urban growth. Professor Landis is currently
completing a National Science Foundation–funded project to model, forecast, and develop alternative spatial scenarios of U.S. population and employment patterns and their impacts on
travel demand, habitat loss, and water use through 2050.

Methodology And Models For Residential Self SelectionDiane Allen
Here are some potential disadvantages of bicycling:
- Increased risk of injury. Bicyclists face risks from accidents with vehicles. Overuse can also lead to injuries like back pain.
- Exposure to weather elements. Riders have no protection from rain, wind, heat or cold compared to motorized vehicles.
- Limited cargo capacity. Bicycles have small baskets or racks but cannot transport large or heavy loads like a car or truck.
- Lack of long-distance options. While feasible for short trips, bicycling is not practical for very long distances due to fatigue.
- Infrastructure requirements. Dedicated bike lanes, paths and parking are needed to make cycling safe and convenient.
This document discusses ideas for improving urban planning and city design. It summarizes challenges with the current design of Regent Street in London, including poor air quality, congestion, and an unpleasant environment for pedestrians due to traffic domination. The document then outlines ideas tested in Summer Streets projects that opened Regent Street to pedestrians by reducing car traffic. Evaluations found increased footfall, retailer support, and more people using the area when it was less dominated by vehicles and prioritized for walking. The document advocates designing cities to be more people-friendly and making areas easy for pedestrians and cyclists to encourage more sustainable transportation choices.

REAL WORLD EXAMPLES OF SOLUTIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE CITIES
Cities present a crucial challenge and opportunity in the coming decades, as more than 2.5 billion people are expected to be added to the world's urban areas by 2050.
This presentation from Ani Dasgupta, Global Director, WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities, explores real-world examples of how change has been made in some of the fastest growing cities and economies of the world and discuss actions to ensure sustainable urbanization in the years and decades ahead.
There is strong evidence that improved economic productivity and resource efficiency that accompany urbanization can be achieved while simultaneously addressing the environmental and social externalities from rapid urban growth. Although a combination of technological, social and political innovation is necessary, a wide range of actionable solutions are currently available to address the challenges cities face across various sectors. 2015-16 is an unprecedented year of opportunity - with COP, SDG and Habitat III - for advancing action at the global and city level towards advancing sustainable urban growth.

Cycling is good for business, politics, and cities according to the European Cycling Federation (ECF). The ECF aims to double cycling in Europe by 2030 by incorporating cycling into all relevant policies, investing at least 10% of transport budgets into cycling, and investing in cycling tourism. Cycle tourism is a large business, worth billions, in top European cycling nations like France, Germany, and others. The ECF argues that increasing cycling supports the European Commission's priorities of jobs, growth, climate change, and transportation goals.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Behaviour
How can we promote or ’nudge’ people
to align their habits with the needs of
the planet?
•Investing in public transport is only
worthwhile if it people choose to use it.
•A building is only sustainable if it is
part of a sustainable network
•Investment in green technology is only
sustainable if people behave the way
we predict they will

What is the efficiency at which mobility,
accessibility to public space, and the built
environment delivers health and well-being in
the 21st century?
98. 3.
What gets
measured gets
done
1. Can we capture the social and
cultural value of investments made
in mobility as well as the economic
and environmental ones
2. Can we create a quality criteria
for mobility based on comfort,
convenience, and quality of
experience

A smart city for
people
Using technology to augment everyday
urban routines only increases the need for
thoughtfully designed streets and public spaces
and networks
118. TRADE-OFFS
A cycletrack reduces conflicts between
vehicles and bicyclists but increases
potential conflicts with commercial and
passenger loading activity, including
accessible services.
A shared bicycle lane retains conflicts with
vehicles and boarding activity but reduces
these with pedestrians.
However, vehicle conflicts would be reduced
with more vehicle restrictions.
121. FINDING PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The RFP just stipulates
•15% improvement in travel time
•50% increase in transit capacity
As success criterias this is incredibly limiting – starts
with the technical problem, rather than a vision that
we work toward achieving.

A smart city for
people
1. How can we invite the people that
work, live, and visit places like Market
Street to meet, linger, collaborate and
share knowledge?
