  2. 1.THEORY 2. FINDINGS 3. PRACTICE 4. PUBLICITY

  3. THEORY

  4. the axial map as a representation of urban networks – makes it possible to measure “cognitive closeness” between spaces

  5. ADRESS POINTS (FOR EXAMPLE ADRESS POINTS) GOAL POINTS (FOR EXAMPLE PLAYGROUNDS) AXIAL LINES AS THE NETWORK IN BETWEEN • the place syntax tool can Measures attraction accessibility with both cognitive closeness and metric distance

  6. VISUALISING THE PLACE SYNTAX ANALYSIS IN GIS

  7. densitywithingeographicalunits – DOESN’T REALLY CAPTURES POTENTIAL FOR URBAN LIFE

  8. ACCESIBLE density in place syntax– DECODING THE POTENTIAL FOR SUPPLY AND DIVERSITY OF SERVICE AND CITY LIFE

  9. FINDINGS

  10. DIRECTNESS WITHIN 5 KM – CORRELATES WITH WELL USED BICYCLE ROUTES HIGH ACCESS OF EVERY DAY DESTINATIONS CORRELATES WITH WALKING AND BICYCLINNG TRAVEL HABITS FINDING CITY FORM POTENTIAL FOR TRANSPORT AND ROUTE CHOICE TRONDHEIM, SPACESCAPE IN COLLABORATION WITH NTNU 10

  11. 90% accesibledensitywithin 1 km the number of restaurants within 1 km FINDING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN CITY FORM AND URBAN ACTIVITIES (Evaluation of urban qualities: results from Stockholm region, Evidens, Spacescape 2011)

  12. closeness to c.b.d access of public transport by rail spatial integration 90% access to urban activities PRICE access to park closeness to water block typology SOCIO ECONOMICAL INDEX FINDING urban qualities THAT explains flat PRICES (Evaluation of urban qualities: results from Stockholm region, Evidens, Spacescape 2011)

  13. IN PRACTICE

  14. 1-200 200-300 300-400 400-500 500-600 600-700 700-800 800-900 900-1000 1000-3000 Good public access to playgrounds according to Stockholms park policy Nursery Schools POLICY SUPPORT “ACCESIBILITY TO PUBLIC PLAYGROUNDS IN STOCKHOLM” – RED SHOWS LACK OF ACCESIBLITY

  15. DESIGN SUPPORT ”THE SLUSSEN PROJECT”– ONE OF SWEDENS MOST COMPLEX PLACES

  16. DESIGN SUPPORT ”THE ÅRSTAFÄLTET PROJECT – ONE OF SWEDENS LARGEST PARK DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

  17. PUBLICITY

  18. URBANITY AS ACCESIBLE DIVERSITY A POWERFUL DEFINITION OF URBANITY THAT MATTERS IN EVERYDAY URBAN LIFE AND CAN BE MEASURED

  19. To put in a more simple way: we live in cities so that we can get close to many different things
