S_14 – INNOVATIVE SIMULATIONS FOR URBAN PLANNING: DECODING CONFIGURATION, MORPHOLOGY AND SPACE
Cutini Valerio and Altafini Diego (University of Pisa)
The session promotes discussions regarding the use of spatial, configurational, and territorial analysis methods for the evaluation of different territorial dimensions within urban and regional spaces. While papers are expected to converge in the use of data-driven instruments such as Geographic Information Systems, alongside other computational methods and models for urban planning: such as morphological and configurational analysis, the contexts in which those are employed are diverse. Three main thematic sub-themes for the session:
1. Spatial and Configurational Simulations for Urban Planning
– Data-driven spatial analysis
– Configurational models – networks and centralities – analysis for urban spaces
– Analysis for evaluating configuration and movement within a “minute city” concept
– Territorial analysis and regional disparities – towards sustainable approaches
– Configurational and spatial planning for urban risks mitigation (seismic, hydro-geological, and crime)
2. Urban Design and Urban Form
– Methods and models for designing sustainable cities
– Movement, spaces of production and consumption
– Urban design for post-disasters
3. Urban Infrastructure and Transport
– Evaluating mobility and accessibility within urban and regional contexts
– Routing and optimization of movement within a “minute city” concept
