About

We provide a comprehensive data-based holistic methodology to analyse cities as complex systems. It covers aspects like mobility, biodiversity, landuse, energy, water, waste and others. We characterise urban structure and evaluate its environmental performance through maps and measures descriving relevant urban dimensions in accordance with SDGs and the NEB Impact model. It can be used to:

  • detect malfunctioning part of a urban system and prioritize them according to the potential benefit of the transformation

  • evaluate alternative transformation scenarios for a given area

  • support strategic planning suggesting integrated set of design actions

Main areas of expertise, beyond the methodology itself are:

GIS, Urban Design, Citizen Science, Computational design
