Urban Sustainability for the Twenty-Four Hour City: Development of Design-making Tools & Resources

这项提案汇集了来自设计、工程、建筑、城市规划和IT的专家，他们都致力于可持续发展的各个方面，从犯罪到可获得性和环境科学。该项目的愿景是通过开发创新、包容和实用的决策工具和资源，支持和实现可持续和对社会负责的城市设计。这些将从对人与环境互动模式的深入了解中得出，并将解决实际的城市设计、运营和管理问题，特别是与24小时城市有关的问题。该项目利用制定可持续设计决策的通用程序作为脊梁，围绕该程序可以建立关于可持续发展各个方面的知识。这是为了实现多标准的决策和“如果呢？”关键从业者和利益相关者将采取的情景。该项目的核心有三个工作包，涉及：(1)可持续设计决策过程；(2)城市环境中的土地使用，以及多样性与社会和经济活力之间的关系；(3)利用设计减少实际和可接受的犯罪，创造城市环境的积极体验。每个外围工作包将发展更多的知识，以增加设计决策资源，而工作包10有助于相当大的信息和通信技术，以支持知识的应用和传播。

This proposal brings together experts from design, engineering, construction, urban planning and IT, all of whom have worked on aspects of sustainability, from crime to accessibility and environmental sciences. The vision for the project is to support and enable sustainable and socially responsible urban design through the development of innovative, inclusive and practical decision-making tools & resources. These will be derived fror an in-depth understanding of the patterns of human/environment interaction, and will resolve practical urban design, operation and management problems, particularly in relation to the twenty-four hour city. The project uses the development of a generic process for sustainable design decisionmaking as the spine around which knowledge on the various dimensions of sustainability can be built. This is to enable multi-criteria decision-making and 'what if?' scenarios to be undertaken by key practitioners and stakeholders. The project has at its core three work packages addressing: (i) the process of sustainable design decision-making; (ii) land use in urban environments, and the relationship between diversity and social and economic vitality;(iii) the use of design for the reduction of actual and percieved crime and the creation of a positive experience of urban environments. Each peripheral work-package would develop further knowledge to add to the design decision-making resource, while work-package 10 contributes considerable ICT to support application and dissemination of knowledge.
