Firm dynamic productivity
The document discusses modeling economic growth and firm dynamics in urban areas. It analyzes firm data from the Klang Valley region of Malaysia from 1990 to 2007. The analysis finds that transportation infrastructure influences firm location choices, with many firms located near transportation features like roads. Manufacturing and wholesale/retail firms especially prefer areas close to transportation. The conclusion is that firm demography and location choices are important for modeling economic development and land use patterns from the bottom-up. However, more detailed firm data would be needed to fully model dynamics like firm migration and closure.

Future of Cities: Thinking for the long-term
This document discusses the future of cities and focuses on three main points. First, it notes that urban populations are growing rapidly worldwide and will continue to do so in the coming decades. Second, it argues that cities need to be considered and planned for in the long-term due to their complex, interdependent systems that impact each other over many years. Third, it suggests that future planning for sustainable cities will require diverse evidence, analytical methods, and involvement of local communities.

The Future of Cities: what will cities look like in 2065?
This document discusses the future of cities and provides context on how cities have developed over time. It notes that by 2065, most UK cities will have high levels of diversity similar to Birmingham today. An aging population will increase the number of over-75s significantly. Future cities will have more integrated infrastructure and new forms of sustainable transport and energy generation. High-speed rail will increase connectivity between cities and urban forms will become denser and greener.
Water in Future Cities
- The document discusses the future of cities and focuses on the need for long-term thinking when planning cities. It notes that cities are where many policy objectives succeed or fail.
- It also discusses how the UK has been gradually devolving more powers to cities and argues that future cities should be "liveable". Additionally, water issues need to be considered systematically in development decisions given the interdependencies between cities and water.
- There are challenges to planning due to cities having long impact cycles and highly interdependent systems. Research is needed to address knowledge gaps and help plan future cities. An integrated, long-term, and evidence-based approach is advocated.

NJ Complete Streets Summit Keynote - Charles Marohn
The document summarizes a New Jersey Complete Streets Summit that discussed building streets for all modes of transportation rather than just automobiles. It notes that Complete Streets is a rational approach and that streets should accommodate people first rather than being dominated by automobiles. Engineers are willing to build Complete Streets because it keeps their focus on traffic speed and volume rather than prioritizing safety and costs like the public prefers.

The document discusses how a collaborative workspace could contribute to the identity of a site in Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur. It provides background on the historical morphology and urban morphology of Chow Kit. It then analyzes several issues with the current site, including repetitive building types, a coarse urban grain, and an absence of variety in land uses. It explores how a collaborative workspace could address these issues by providing job opportunities, networking for different professions and societal classes, and acting as a multi-use space to bridge gaps in society. Finally, it examines the site's potential for permeability, accessibility, and acting as a protagonist for its surroundings.

The document discusses the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in smart city governance. It presents a "Smart City House" model that depicts the process of turning a city's technological infrastructure into value for society. The model shows that ICT alone does not create value; it is an input that when combined with other factors like public policy and stakeholder needs can produce outputs like economic growth and quality of life. For a city to be truly "smart" it must learn to balance individual and collective needs through participatory governance approaches supported by ICT.Matador
The document discusses key aspects of building future smart cities, including planning and managing infrastructure, transportation systems, public safety, and utilities like power, water and lighting. It emphasizes that smart cities require integrating technology into these systems to make them more efficient, sustainable and improve services for citizens. Data collection and analysis can help address challenges and anticipate problems in areas like transportation, security and resource management to create livable and prosperous urban environments.
The Future of Public Space III: Alderman Walker
This document discusses the future of public spaces and who owns them. It notes divisions along functions, ideals, and control as well as along race. It advocates standing up for shared spaces and adopting new perspectives. It also discusses moving from providing spaces to facilitating activity, rationalizing space use, prioritizing safety, accessibility, multi-functionality, and community needs. Key challenges discussed include lack of funding, vandalism, differing views on management, and how to provide spaces in informal settlements. Partnerships between the city, public, and activity groups are advocated to address these challenges.

This document provides a summary of key messages from a report on integrated sustainable urban development strategies in European cities. It discusses six thematic reports produced by URBACT workstreams that examined challenges facing cities like shrinking populations, lack of jobs, youth issues, segregation, mobility and energy efficiency. The document emphasizes that cities need to focus strategies on the areas they can most influence and complete bridges between policies and actions. It also stresses the importance of realigning resources to meet real needs, tackling barriers to change, investing in people, and creating "innovation brokers" to support integrated solutions for cities of tomorrow.Startupfest 2017: Micah Kotch (URBAN-X)
This document discusses challenges facing dense urban areas and potential solutions being developed by startups. As cities become more crowded, they require more resources and infrastructure puts pressure on quality of life. New technologies like electric vehicles, smart charging, vertical farms, and distributed energy could help address these issues by enhancing mobility, modernizing transit, encouraging mixed-use neighborhoods, and creating more sustainable food and energy systems. Startups are exploring how to leverage data and decentralized technologies to unlock unused urban potential and improve lives, but collaborations are needed between entrepreneurs, policymakers, and companies to realize these innovative solutions.
My vision of the city of the future
This document provides a vision for cities of the future that are smart, shareable, vertical, and green. It describes how smart cities will use sensors and digital technology to improve living standards. Shareable cities will utilize shared goods, services, and resources through peer-to-peer networks. Vertical cities will build up with multiple levels to accommodate more people in urban areas. Green cities will focus on sustainability, renewable energy, green space, and environmentally-friendly transportation.

This document summarizes the key findings of a study by Arthur D. Little assessing urban mobility performance in 66 cities worldwide. The main points are:
1) Most cities scored below average on an urban mobility index, achieving only two-thirds of potential best practices, indicating significant room for improvement.
2) Top performing cities like Hong Kong and Amsterdam had strong public transport and policies promoting walking/cycling, with individual motorized transport at less than half.
3) To improve, cities need to establish collaborative platforms, develop integrated mobility visions and strategies, discover user needs, and introduce market mechanisms to spur innovation.
4) The document outlines strategic imperatives and business models that cities and mobility providers can
Town planning semester lec
This document discusses several theories of urban development and models of urban structure. It introduces central place theory, which explains how towns form around the distribution of goods and sharing of ideas. The concentric zone model depicts social groups arranged in concentric rings around the central business district. The sector model shows the influence of transportation corridors on growth. The multiple nuclei model describes cities growing from several independent centers that later merge into one urban area, with various nodes like ports and universities influencing land use.
Town planning theories concept and models
The document discusses several theories and models of urban and town planning from ancient to modern times. It describes the earliest river valley civilizations and oldest continuously inhabited cities. It then covers concepts in modern town planning like segregating industries, high-rise buildings, and master plans. Various approaches to town planning like rational, incremental, and communicative are mentioned. Models of urban structure and land use are summarized, including central place theory, Ebenezer Howard's three magnets diagram, the garden city movement, concentric zone model, linear city, Radburn superblock, neighborhood unit design, core frame model, sector model, and multiple nuclei model.

Towards an effective transitioning of public transport system in Ghana
Towards an effective transitioning of public transport system in GhanaInstitute for Transport Studies (ITS)
Research presentation by visiting academic Dr Michael Poku-Boansi, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Planning, KNUST, Kumasi, Ghana and member of the Ghana Institute of Planners (GIP).
Abstract:
Research indicates that transport services in cities in developing countries are mostly informal and include the use of rickety and low occupancy vehicles such as minibuses, taxis, motorcycles and vans, operated by private groups or individuals. Due to this classification, two schools of thought have emerged. The first suggests that these informal transport service sector operators in most cases operate outside the officially sanctioned public transport sector and as a result should be regarded as nuisance due to its disorganised nature, calling for public intervention and occasional eradication. Given its disorganised nature, informal transport service operators are identified with urban problems including low level of services, high rates of collision and accidents, increased congestion in cities, erratic scheduling and services, inadequate and lack of capacity and evasion of taxes and fees. In contrast, the other school of thought supports and emphasises the critical role these private operators play in meeting the mobility demand of the urban population, as in some jurisdictions (e.g., Ghana, Kenya, and Senegal) provide over 50% of transport services. Public transport service provision in Ghana has undergone several transformations since pre-colonial times, both structured and disorganised development. However, to avoid the gradual decay of public transport service provision in Ghana, the government of Ghana since 2005 has initiated plans to introduce Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) services as a way of improving efficiency in public transport services. The Ghana UTP seeks to among other things to improve mobility within Ghana’s urban centres and to shift to more environmentally-sustainable transport modes and lower transport-related GHG emissions. Although the BRT project is yet to be fully roll out, its implementation is already facing some resistance from the informal public transport operators due to, a large extent, mistrust between the informal public transport operators and the government. The informal public transport operators consider this government intervention (BRT) as a strategy to make their operations inefficient and unpopular among Ghanaians. As a result, previous attempts to implement the project have failed, regardless of the potential benefits of the BRT. The purpose of my research is to explore ways of transition the uncoordinated informal public transport service operations in Ghana into a formal public transport service sector.
URBAN PLANNING_Essay 3
The document discusses new concepts in urban planning, specifically strategic planning versus master planning. It notes that strategic planning takes a more participatory approach that involves stakeholders and improves commitment levels compared to statutory master planning. However, strategic planning still requires a strong legal framework and institutional support to achieve its goals. The document also provides an example of strategic planning in Kumasi, Ghana, where it has prioritized infrastructure investment through budget allocation but still faces challenges of lack of integration among departments.
Urban Problems and Perspectives
This document discusses urban transport challenges and solutions. It notes that as urban populations and vehicles increase, cities face constraints on resources. This implies a huge challenge to build infrastructure while limiting environmental and public health impacts. The document evaluates two approaches: capital intensive solutions like expanding roads and rail; and changing paradigms by prioritizing non-motorized transport and bus systems. It argues that alternative solutions can transform cities in a low-cost, high impact way through compact development focused on pedestrians, bicycles, public transit and disincentives for car use. Examples from cities like Bogota demonstrate extraordinary results from integrated sustainable transport policies.

Pauline DUSSEUX : Exploitation de séries temporelles d'images satellites à ha...
This document summarizes research using time series of high spatial resolution satellite images to monitor land use and grassland management practices. The study area is a 61.5 km2 watershed in Brittany, France dominated by grasslands and crops. Optical and SAR image time series from 2006-2011 were classified using support vector machines to identify grassland and discriminate between grazing, mowing, and mixed grassland management. Classification accuracy was highest when combining optical and SAR data for grassland identification but lower for management identification. The results indicate that remote sensing time series have potential for grassland monitoring but further research is needed, especially combining optical and SAR data.
Elements of city plan 3 unit
This document discusses elements of city planning and urban land use patterns. It describes key components of a city plan including communications, transportation, public services, and amenities. It summarizes various models of urban land use patterns proposed by theorists like Burgess, Hoyt, and Harris-Ullman. It also describes characteristics of different urban land uses such as residential, commercial, industrial zones and the central business district. Key challenges faced in urban planning related to housing, transportation and land use are highlighted.
Unit 6 notes 2
This document summarizes urbanization and urban problems in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rapid urbanization led to overcrowded housing, increased crime, and problems with infrastructure like sanitation, water, and fire safety. New technologies allowed for mass migration from farms to cities. Social reformers worked to address these issues through policies, organizations like settlement houses, and drawing attention to problems through photographs of urban poverty.
Street Art Essay
Street art began as gang graffiti in the 1920s-30s and evolved over time. By the 1970s-80s, artists began using public spaces to tag their names, starting trends like Taki 183. Street art grew popular in the 80s due to technology and now expresses political and social messages. While sometimes seen as vandalism, street art is now more accepted as an art form. It comes in many styles and is used worldwide to engage audiences in important issues.
Principal urban problems
Cities face principal problems related to the environment, infrastructure, transportation, and social issues. Environmental issues include air and noise pollution from traffic and the large quantities of waste generated. Infrastructure struggles to provide sufficient water, energy, and green spaces for dense urban populations. Heavy traffic density causes major problems of congestion and pollution, especially during rush hours. Social problems stem from differences between wealthy and impoverished neighborhoods as well as an isolating urban lifestyle.
Urban problems related to energy
This document discusses energy demand and usage in urban vs rural areas. It notes that urban areas are more developed with non-agricultural jobs, higher population density, and greater energy usage for residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation needs. Rural areas have fewer structures and people working in agriculture with lower energy usage. The document then outlines the major energy demands like lighting, transportation, manufacturing, and waste disposal and how seasons and prevention/control of pollution also impact energy usage.
Ancient Egyptian Architecture
Ancient Egypt was one of the earliest and most influential civilizations. The document provides background information on Ancient Egypt, including that the name 'Egypt' comes from the Greek name for the country. It discusses some of Egypt's major river valley civilizations and highlights the importance of the predictable flooding of the Nile River in the development of Egyptian settlements and agriculture. Key sites from Ancient Egypt are described, such as the pyramids at Giza and structures built during the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. Ancient Egyptian cities, tomb types (such as mastabas and rock-cut tombs), and religious sites (like Karnak and Luxor Temple) are also outlined.
Development of Settlements - Planning Perspectives
- Mercantilism was an economic philosophy from the 16th-17th centuries that believed a nation's wealth came from gold and silver, and nations intervened extensively in markets to restrict imports and subsidize exports.
- In the early 18th century, Physiocrats advocated for laissez-faire policies and believed agriculture was the sole source of wealth. Adam Smith later incorporated some of their ideas but rejected the view that only agriculture was productive.
- In the late 18th century, marginalist economists emphasized that prices also depend on demand and consumer satisfaction, not just costs of production as classical economists believed.
Elements of urban design
Urban design can significantly impact the economic, environmental, social, and cultural outcomes of a place. It influences factors like local business success, housing costs, transportation access, and how people interact. Key elements of urban design include buildings, public spaces, streets, transportation systems, and landscape features. Buildings define the streetscape while public spaces are where people come together. Streets connect places and their design impacts walkability. Transportation networks enable movement throughout the city. Landscape provides green spaces that enhance character and beauty.
Theories and Concepts of town planning
The document summarizes several urban planning concepts from the 20th century, including the Garden City Concept, Neighborhood Unit Concept, and Sector Theory. The Garden City Concept proposed limiting city populations and incorporating green spaces. The Neighborhood Unit Concept centered schools and included parks, shops, and distinct internal/perimeter streets. Sector Theory described how distinct land use sectors near the city center would perpetuate as the city expanded in wedge-like fashion along major routes.
Urban planning presentation 01

How sharing economy changes cities
The document discusses how sharing economies are changing cities. It notes that sharing economies allow people to share excess capacity through digital platforms, lowering transaction costs. This can create possibilities for cities like wider participation and stronger local economies, but also threats like global monopolies controlling services. The document argues that cities need to focus on people rather than technology, promote platforms governed by users, understand value is created through use rather than production, recognize models already exist in cities, and make the city itself a platform governed by its residents.

Smart city1
This document proposes a theory of smart cities based on new sources of data and instrumentation. It discusses how smart city approaches use digital sensors and networks to integrate urban infrastructure and services. This enables benefits like reduced resource use and improved crisis response. However, a theoretical framework is needed to understand impacts on citizen behavior. The document puts forth two relevant theories: scaling laws describing macro patterns in urban systems, and viewing cities as complex adaptive systems. It argues smart city data at micro levels could test hypotheses within these theories and advance understanding of urban phenomena.

- 1. Measuring & modelling cities 7 provocations 2011 Urban Systems Symposium 11th May 2011 Tim Stonor t.stonor@spacesyntax.com @Tim_Stonor
- 2. 1 Avoid complexity Complexity is confusing to clients & communities. Complexity means additional fees for developers & consultants.
- 3. Simple, graphic, user-oriented modelling Observe Explain Forecast Deliver
- 4. 2 Modelling cities means more than modelling movement Cities are about transaction & not only about movement. Movement models have ruined the social & economic performance of cities by creating too much movement, insufficient exchange.
- 5. Build it and they will move But at what cost?
- 6. Focus on people not transport Trafalgar Square, London
- 7. 3 Models are only as good as the theories that made them & the theories that guide their use Focus on city planning principles & not just modelling processes.
- 8. Urban planning principles 101 Cities aren’t about movement from A to B. Cities are about social & economic transaction between people moving at different scales.
- 9. Planning for transaction Multi-scale movement modelling Pedestrian movement Vehicle movement A single modelling environment
- 10. 4 Success is easier to model than failure In successful cities, spatial accessibility, movement, land use, density & heightare correlated. Broken cities are harder to model.
- 11. Planning for correlation Parametric urban modelling Manipulating spatial networks
- 12. 5 Open source Open data Open standards Open access
- 13. 6 Do not separate development from application Develop through application. Create feedback mechanisms between development & application. Expect failure.
- 14. Development & application A process of mutual exploitation UCL Space Syntax Laboratory Fundamental research Teaching Technology development People Knowledge Questions Space Syntax Limited Strategic consulting Internship Technology development
- 15. 7 Urbanization is not a brutal fact but a beautiful & powerful opportunity …for creativity, innovation, industry & culture.
