A MACRO LEVEL APPROACH FOR URBAN ACTIVATION

PROJECT FRAMEWORK

By 2050, 68% of the world population will be living in cities, and in order to best accommodate this rapid urbanization growth while making cities more sustainable, livable, and equitable, designers must utilize qualitative and quantitative tools to make better informed decisions about our future cities. 

 

Our project goal is to develop a web-based process that allows users, designers and governments to better understand the morphology of the city by creating a scoring relationship between its nodes.

DESIGN OBJECTIVES

What are the goals behind this urban development and how can we assist on this task?

PROJECT OBJECTIVE

The Project Is Conceived as a Data-Driven Approach to Analyze and Unveil the hidden opportunities on the Urban Fabric. Using networkx and geopandas python libraries, we could performed large and complex urban calculations and then present this in the form of a web-based map application using carto.

PROJECT METHODOLOGY
