The theory of the natural urban transformation process: The relationship between street network configuration, density and degree of function mixture of built environments (paper)

During the last decade, advances in software, spatial analyses methods, and improved capacity of computers have made it possible to quantitatively analyse morphological features of whole cities. This emerging trend of combining geographic information system (GIS) with traditional urban morphology brings some new insights into the evolving logic...

Generative Improvement of Street Networks Based on Space Syntax: Applied in a case study on an informal settlement in Jeddah

Space syntax is supposed to be an objective method for evaluating spatial configurations. Its contribution to a design process is dependent on the designer’s estimation. The paper describes a generative approach to finding particularly good interventions based on space syntax analyses of axial maps. More precisely, a case study was undertaken...
