Semantic urban elements
Architecture, engineering, and construction have increasingly integrated automated tools and digital approaches for urban analysis and design. Many of these approaches are tailored towards either urban Design or urban Science, despite both being central to our understanding of cities. The separation between these two core aspects of urban development introduces multidisciplinary challenges when addressing the consequences of urban phenomena. We p…
A replica for our democracies? On using digital twins to enhance deliberative democracy
Spatial econometrics to estimate traffic reduction by transforming office space into housing and other land uses
Urban Digital Twins and metaverses towards city multiplicities
Urban Digital Twins (UDTs) have become the new buzzword for researchers, planners, policymakers, and industry experts when it comes to designing, planning, and managing sustainable and efficient cities. It encapsulates the last iteration of the technocratic and ultra-efficient, post-modernist vision of smart cities. However, while more applications branded as UDTs appear around the world, its conceptualization remains ambiguous. Beyond being tech…
Democracy by Design
Participatory resilience
In the context of urbanization and a growing population, cities and citizens are becoming more exposed and vulnerable to social and environmental changes, ranging from natural disasters like earthquakes and floods to uncertainties caused by issues related to climate change and complex social dynamics or even pandemics. There have been many debates about implementing resilience thinking that allow cities and communities to prepare for possible str…
Getting Real
Large-scale microsimulations are increasingly resourceful tools for analysing in detail citywide effects and alternative scenarios of our policy decisions, approximating the ideal of ‘urban digital twins’. Yet, these models are costly and impractical, and there are surprisingly few published examples robustly validated with empirical data. This paper, therefore, presents a new large-scale agent-based traffic microsimulation for the Barcelona urba…
