Description

Configurational analysis refers to a set of techniques departing from graph theory to investigate topological properties of spatial systems on various scales. It allows to link configurational analytical results to social, economic and cognitive factors of cities and people. Physical, social, economic and cognitive relationships are all intertwined and the configuration of a city allows to investigate these. It is a descriptive way of understanding how spatial networks work to facilitate movement patterns, co-presence and social capital.

In the context of various urban challenges, configurational analysis allows to analyse spatial and interrelated properties and can be useful for scenario development and scenario testing of the urban layout.

Configurational analysis complements accessibility approaches through the understanding of the centrality of streets, street segments or crossing of streets in connection to their functionality and located/embedded functions. As a result, we may obtain a comprehensive grasp of how urban systems work across scales. The configurational analysis has the extra benefit of being a systemic approach that allows to identify real-world challenges and investigate these in-depth. Spatial configurative approaches allow to evaluate the role that each space plays in the overall configuration of a system, as a whole or in its parts.

Configurative analysis connects to the discourse on sustainable cities, resilient cities, smart cities, healthy cities, or the 15-minute city. It allows to investigate current spatial systems and further develop and test spatial scenarios as guidelines into the future.

The CA CITIES 2022 workshop welcomes contributions from the fields of geography, urbanism, urban analytics, environmental engineers, computer sciences and related fields. Contributions are aimed at proposing novel insights into theory, method and case studies that allow to enhance the debate for following topics and themes:

Description

Space syntax is an expression coined in the 1970s by Billy Hillier and his colleagues at Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. It refers to a set of techniques and theories that investigates topological properties of spatial systems and their effects in terms of urban practices. The underlying idea is that the relationship between the physical and social dimensions of city lies in the configuration of spatial structures, hence in the interdependencies among the components of the urban layout.

In the context of climate change, space syntax, encompasses a method for analysing how spatial properties limit or facilitate urban transformations and transitions in social practices based on criteria of sustainability, inclusion and equality.

The discourse on the sustainable city intersects both present and future needs and both descriptive and normative dimensions. Consequently, a descriptive approach, structured by space syntax theories and methods is central to understand the relationship between space and society with the perspective of predicting future needs arising from the demand for sustainability, inclusion and equality.

 

The Syntax City_2021 workshop welcomes contributions aimed at proposing novel methods and visions, theoretical approaches and case studies connecting space syntax with the sustainable city debate.

Focus of contributions may include (but is not limited):

 

Spatial and social justice;

Space, sustainable mobility means and energy use;

Data-informed design and planning;

Transport planning and land use studies;

Online and informal economies;

Urban morphogenesis;

Theoretical and methodological development;

Urban policy making.

Space, crime and urban safety;

Space and urban centralities.

 

Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the Syntax City workshop welcomes contributions on urban studies, spatial planning, and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the issues proposed. Engineers, Urban and Regional Planners, Architects, Geographers and Environmental Engineers, among others are welcome to contribute.

“Urban Space Accessibility and Safety”

Description

The purpose of the “USAS” workshop is to collect papers on the criteria and applications, methodologies and tools useful to ensure the accessibility and safety of the urban space to all categories of users, with specific reference to the most disadvantaged people.

In fact, the concepts of “Accessibility and Safety” have assumed a fundamental importance for the use of urban space, becoming the basis of any good project and fundamental requirements in the implementation of good practices for using city’s places.

Talking about accessibility and safety implies referring to these concepts in its broadest sense, not only the physical ones, but also all their other forms, including psycho-cognitive accessibility and related safety.

Finally, the “accessibility and Safety” are based on the latest generation ITS technologies, such as innovative flexible services and real-time users’ information, augmented reality, virtual reality and smart roads.

Users’ information is also another aspect to derive the concept of accessibility and safety: transport networks have become increasingly complex and dynamic, intermodality is an indispensable new mobility paradigm and users need to be guided along their movements.

Accessibility also means demand segmentation: diversifying services, correlating different data sources and providing specific information with respect to different types of users and access devices.

Focusing on “accessibility and safety”, this workshop may critically explore (but is not limited) these relevant issues:

  1. Studying and recognizing the specificities and differences between the various categories of people with disabilities, identifying needs and, at the same time, widening the concept of disability to populations considered up to now as “able-bodied” (elderly, children, etc.);
  2. Analysis of the conditions for an independent life for people with disabilities, or for their self-determination, through the study of measures and strategies that give the possibility of living one’s life as or almost like any other person;
  3. Design and creation of spaces, strategies and measures to promote accessibility and safety;
  4. Highlighting how public spaces in cities favour quality and urban security, contrasting urban degradation and how foster a comprehensive regeneration of urban spaces according to accessibility and safety criteria;
  5. Supporting public system strategies in order to guarantee an optimal use of resources for the creation of overall present and future value in local communities;
  6. Promoting social inclusion and raising people well-being and autonomy also through the development of knowledge, methodologies, technological tools and advanced automation techniques.

Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the workshop USAS welcomes contributions on ICT and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the issues proposed.

Engineers, Geologists, Urban and Regional Planners, Landscape Architects, Geographers and Economic Geographers, Environmental Engineers, among others are welcome to contribute.
