Description
The City Form Lab has unveiled an innovative toolbox designed specifically for analyzing urban networks. This groundbreaking ArcGIS toolbox is the first of its kind, featuring centrality tools that facilitate the computation of five distinct graph analysis measures on spatial networks: reach, gravity, betweenness, closeness, and straightness. Additionally, it includes redundancy tools that calculate the redundancy index, identify redundant paths, and assess the wayfinding index. Notably, these tools boast three key features that enhance their effectiveness for spatial analysis in urban street networks. Firstly, they are capable of considering both geometry and topology within the input networks, allowing for the use of metric distance (such as meters) or topological distance (like turns) as impedance factors during analysis. Secondly, in contrast to earlier software tools that only handle two network elements—nodes and edges—the UNA tools introduce a third element: buildings, which serve as the spatial units for all analytical measures. This comprehensive approach not only improves the accuracy of urban analysis but also provides deeper insights into the relationships within urban environments.
Description
Facilitate the planning and examination of urban development by analyzing the complex relationships among land use, transportation systems, economic factors, and environmental considerations. Investigate how various infrastructure decisions and policy implementations impact community results, including access for both motorized and non-motorized transport, housing affordability, levels of greenhouse gas emissions, and the preservation of open spaces and ecologically sensitive areas. Rapidly set up and initiate UrbanSim simulations utilizing the advantages of cloud-based technology. Provide actionable insights that are accessible to users, regardless of their technical proficiency. The UrbanSim block-level template is pre-equipped with employment, household, and socioeconomic data for nearly 400 Metropolitan Planning Organizations throughout the United States, alongside street networks sourced from OpenStreetMap to effectively calculate accessibility metrics. This comprehensive approach ensures that urban planners can make informed decisions that support sustainable growth and community well-being.
