Data Augmented Design: Embracing New Data For Sustainable Urban Planning And Design (strategies For Sustainability)

This book offers an essential introduction to a new urban planning and design methodology called Data Augmented Design (DAD) and its evolution and progresses, highlighting data driven methods, urban planning and design applications and related theories. The authors draw on many kinds of data, including big, open, and conventional data, and discuss cutting-edge technologies that illustrate DAD as a future oriented design framework in terms of its focus on multi-data, multi-method, multi-stage and multi-scale sustainable urban planning. In four sections and ten chapters, the book presents case studies to address the core concepts of DAD, the first type of applications of DAD that emerged in redevelopment-oriented planning and design, the second type committed to the planning and design for urban expansion, and the future-oriented applications of DAD to advance sustainable technologies and the future structural form of the built environment. The book is geared towards a broad readership, ranging from researchers and students of urban planning, urban design, urban geography, urban economics, and urban sociology, to practitioners in the areas of urban planning and design.​ Front Matter ....Pages i-xxiii Front Matter ....Pages 1-1 Cities in Transition (Ying Long, Enjia Zhang)....Pages 3-13 Data Augmented Design (DAD): Definitions, Dimensions, Performance, and Applications (Ying Long, Enjia Zhang)....Pages 15-33 Human-scale Urban Form and Its Application in DAD (Ying Long, Enjia Zhang)....Pages 35-47 Front Matter ....Pages 49-49 Data Adaptive Urban Design: A Case Study of Shanghai Hengfu Historical District (Ying Long, Enjia Zhang)....Pages 51-72 Multidimensional Data-Based City Images: Cultural Reactivation of Waterfront Industrial Heritage Design in Shanghai (Ying Long, Enjia Zhang)....Pages 73-91 Fine-Scale Recognition-Based Design Guidelines for Dealing with Shrinking Cities: A Case Study of Hegang (Ying Long, Enjia Zhang)....Pages 93-105 Front Matter ....Pages 107-107 Quantifying Urban Form as a Case Study in Expansion-Oriented Design: Design Practices in the Tongzhou Subcenter (Ying Long, Enjia Zhang)....Pages 109-121 Defining the Density of the Xiong’an New Area Based on Global Experience (Ying Long, Enjia Zhang)....Pages 123-140 Front Matter ....Pages 141-141 The Next Form of Human Settlement: A Design for Future Yilong City (Ying Long, Enjia Zhang)....Pages 143-160 The Future of the Smart Island: A Design for a Natural and Technological Experience District on Huangguan Island (Ying Long, Enjia Zhang)....Pages 161-186 Back Matter ....Pages 187-242
