Curricular information is subject to change
1. To become familiar with basic concepts of transit-oriented development and walkable and cyclable neighbourhoods.
2. To recognise and categorise local and international case studies representing transit oriented and pedestrian-cycling friendly neighbourhoods.
3. To collaborate with others in the analysis of street intersections locally and internationally and their connection to urban sustainability.
4. To understand the urban design characteristics of street intersections connected to urban designs that either facilitate or hinder walking and bicycling, using open data of street level activities.
The course will explore case studies of urban development which strategically integrate public transportation, pedestrian and bicycle planning at a regional scale, city scale and neighborhood scale. Topics include transit-oriented development, walkable and cyclable cities and neighbourhoods. Examples will include case studies in high density Asian cities. This module explores the property development and investment processes and relates these issues to urban design and neighborhood form. Students learn through lectures, invited speakers, group work, readings, real-time data collection, creation of analytical drawings and case studies presentation. The course is structured in thematic classes that combine one lecture-based session and a tutorial session for group work and/or field trips.
The assignment will require students to familiarise themselves with local and international case studies representing different degrees of pedestrian-cycling friendly neighborhoods
The course will be structured around 40-minute PowerPoint lectures or tutorials followed by 40-minute in‐class studio work and tutorials on assignments/fieldwork.
The course will be structured around two units:
1) Mapping street intersections.
2) Concepts of transit-oriented development and walkable neighbourhoods
