Urban design is an interdisciplinary discipline integrating elements of science and art, depending on each discipline being researched or practiced. Its classification as a science, a non-science (i.e., an art), or both, remains a widely debated topic in the field. This paper presents at least three reasons why urban design can be treated as a science (not an art) in particular fields, such as population

This study focuses on converting abandoned elevated transportation infrastructure into high-quality, pedestrian-oriented public spaces. To discuss planning implications, we categorized the outcomes of various projects into typologies. This practice may be a trend; however, it remains scarcely understood, depriving planning professionals of adequate tools to assess the potential and adequacy of conversion

Ramming attacks, pedestrians, and the securitization of streets and urban public space: a case study of New York City URBAN DESIGN International (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2022-03-07 Paul Hess, Sneha Mandhan
Over the last decade, vehicles have been used as weapons to target, kill, and injure pedestrians in cities such as London, New York, and Berlin. In response to these attacks, governments are implementing new policies and physical interventions to securitize pedestrian spaces. A previous wave of urban securitization hardened buildings against explosives delivered by vehicles, but ramming attacks, by

Street network or functional attractors? Capturing pedestrian movement patterns and urban form with the integration of space syntax and MCDA URBAN DESIGN International (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2022-01-31 Chen Yang, Zhu Qian
The space syntax approach has been widely applied in urban studies and practices to investigate urban form and predict pedestrian movement patterns. Prior research has identified the ‘circular causality’ associated with the ontology of space syntax, indicating that network structure and functional attractors are mutually reinforced by movement patterns in urban spaces. Using the city of Xi’an as a

High-density mobile LiDAR for measuring urban streetscape features URBAN DESIGN International (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2021-11-08 Golombek, Yaneev, Marshall, Wesley
This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing high-density mobile Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) to measure urban streetscape features. The results suggest that mobile LiDAR’s density allows for much smaller voxels than in the previous research and the ability to measure small urban streetscape features in 3D. This includes street trees, light/lampposts, street furniture, traffic and commercial

This paper presents the geography of the historic central district of Kraków, Poland before, during and after the first wave of the 2020 pandemic. It describes how the disneyfied main part of the UNESCO heritage site of universal values turned into a ghost town as functional changes were turning into physical ones amid restrictions. From the results of pre-pandemic processes (that, as we argue, turned
