In a context of traffic networks saturation related to urbanisation acceleration, this research is aimed at contributing to the scientific debate on this issue by building a model to describe dynamic pedestriansâ physical distances regulation behaviours ...
Many designers and researchers have grappled with the problem of optimally locating buildings and use types in a neighborhood-scale development. But little work has used data-driven optimization to aid in creating urban design schemes. The paradigm of sing ...
Even though the world’s population is nowadays essentially urban, the mediumsized cities have historically been disregarded by public policies and research due to numerous difficulties defining these “in-between towns”. This lack of definition is even more ...
The democratization of vehicles has often reduced the public space to a place of circulation. For the last fifteen years, the habits of mobility have evolved: a system centered around the automobile leaves room for compositions between different modes of d ...
Urban Green Infrastructures (UGI) play a major role in mitigating the urban climatic conditions, as well as improving people’s health and wellbeing. Indeed, nature has a positive impact both on the pedestrian thermal and psychological perception, increasin ...
