Technologies in Urban Design Practice: Integrating Environmental Design Considerations
Abstract
This chapter argues that urban sustainability needs to consider the user’s engagement, and in particular, the influence of physical urban environmental conditions. Environmental performance such as outdoor thermal comfort is a crucial factor that influences people’s use of the urban environment, and it should, therefore, be fully integrated into the urban design process. As such, available and affordable computational tools, such as EcoTect and CFD simulation, can enable designers to deliver more successful physical urban environments. Through live project case studies, this chapter will demonstrate that using such computational tools can help mainstream urban designers, architects, and landscape designers to improve and adjust physical urban environmental conditions and therefore encourage outdoor activities that can deliver more sustainable urban places.
