Mohamed, A.A. (author), Van Nes, A. (author), Salheen, M.A. (author)Protests and revolts take place in public space. How they can be controlled or how protests develop depend on the physical layout of the built environment. This study reveals the relationship between urban space and protest for two Egyptian squares: Tahrir Square and Rabaa Al-Adawiya in Cairo. For analysis, the research uses space syntax method....conference paper 2015

Mohamed, A.A. (author), Van Nes, A. (author), Salheen, M.A. (author)The spatial layout of built environments influences the distribution of commercial activities. As literature has shown, commercial activities can enhance the process of urban consolidation of informal areas (Hillier et al, 2000; Shafiei, 2007). The purpose of this paper is to investigate the correlation between spatial factors and the...conference paper 2015

Ye, Y.E. (author), Van Nes, A. (author)Many new towns are established in China with the intention of providing desirable places to live. Nevertheless, these new towns often lack the flourishing street life, small businesses, and variety of social activities that old towns have to offer. This paper explores the spatial reasons why old towns tend to perform socio-economically better...journal article 2014

Van Nes, A. (author), Ye, Y. (author)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...conference paper 2014

Nourian, P. (author), Rezvani, S. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)This paper introduces a design methodology and a toolkit developed as a parametric CAD program for configurative design of architectural plan layouts. Using this toolkit, designers can start plan layout process with sketching the way functional spaces need to connect to each other. A tool draws an interactive bubble diagram and a set of tools...conference paper 2013

Read, S.A. (author)Urbanisation is one of the defining issues of our time, shaping a fast-changing world, with our urban economies and societies and urban places produced in the process itself, along with their sustainability and enabling potentials. However the ways we conceive urbanisation leaves a lot of this process extremely unclear. Urbanisation is more than...journal article 2013

Neves, A. (author)Abstract – ‘As one station planner stated, the list of cities that are relevant in Europe nowadays equals the list of cities included in the HST network; this may not be entirely true in fact, but it is increasingly the way things are perceived, which makes it a reality in effect.’ (Trip, 2007). The high speed train links main city centers from...master thesis 2012

Gil, J. (author), Read, S. (author)This paper is an exploration into the analysis of public transport networks using space syntax approaches combined with concepts of sustainable accessibility. Present urban development policy aims to achieve sustainable mobility patterns, shifting mobility to soft transportation modes such as walking and cycling, supported by a more integrated...conference paper 2012

Read, S.A. (author), Lopes Gil, J.A. (author)Space syntax reveals structure in the plans of cities. It misses however an explanation of how this structure arises and what it means. We argue political geographies are structured by the way we have constructed them historically as social organisation, and the means (technique) we have used. These structures depend on a layering of state of...conference paper 2012

Read, S.A. (author), Wang, J. (author)Forms in planning often do not match the forms of cities. This is important because the experience and functionings of cities are given by certain forms and not by others. In particular we are concerned here with the fact planning and design thinking often assumes a nested hierarchy of communities and spaces while the real forms of cities...conference paper 2012

Weeda, A. (author)When it comes to user-friendliness and the relations to the city centre, a lot of station areas need improvement. The aim of this graduation project was to transform the station area of Zwolle into an inviting, user-friendly and well-connected part of the city. The result is a design (based on research) that shows the potential for the inviting,...master thesis 2009

Read, S.A. (author)The relation between the global and the local is the traditional concern of space syntax. A ‘form’ and a ‘structure’ of urban fabrics can be represented in images and graph measures using space syntax techniques and these images and measures correlate with observations of how people use and organize those urban fabrics. The implication is that...conference paper 2009
