The concepts of “post pandemic cities” and “digital smart city” have been actively discussed in the existing literature of computational urban science for their impacts around Robopragma the globe. The essential research pkv questions include: (1) what are key metrics to be included in promoting the digital transformation of future cities? (2) what role do the digital algorithms Bandarqq play in the construction of urban digitalization platforms that diagnose the sustainable operation of cities? This course first reviews the theoretical framework of smart city development and current trend on urban digitalization. Then the course introduces computational methods Robopragma of urban science (focusing on urban computation and city digital algorithm) in Robopragma the following three aspects: fundamental, urban scene, and city index. By investigating the relevant supporting algorithms, analyzing application scenarios in various societal backgrounds, and selecting appropriate computational methods, this course brings forth the city upgrade akun pro vital sign system for diagnosing future urban transformation and new challenges for urban policy making.

This course introduces students to urban design and architecture in three steps. In the first step, we develop students’ understanding and appreciation of architectural design by introducing of design principles, precedent studies, walking tours, and architectural exhibitions. In the second step, we extend the knowledge to a city scale, in which students learn how the decision-making processes of urban and architectural design can affect the outcomes of a city. In the third step, we apply the concepts and skills leaned to design a pocket space, in which students work in groups to produce innovative schemes for a selected site (i.e., an urban block) in Shanghai. The course aims to raise students’ awareness of urban issues, environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic viability in the creation of place identity. We also encourage students’ consciousness and take responsibility for the place (Shanghai) they live in by focusing on three aspects: understanding what you see, what to do, and what to communicate. These aspects will provide students with the basic ideas of the power of architectural design and urban planning.
Basic design software such as sketch-up or Rhino will http://cdn.graodegente.com.br/pkv-games/index.html be briefly introduced in class. Students are encouraged to apply such software but not required. Students are encouraged to learn, practice, and apply such software more after class, but are not required if they choose other means of representation. Students are also required to perform due diligence and spatial analysis of the site, in person or virtual. (TBD based on regulations due to the pandemic)

The course takes an interpretative look at the spatial conditions of our rapidly urbanizing world. It focuses on comparisons and contrasts between urban development patterns of cities around the globe, such as New York City, Tokyo, Chengdu, Singapore, Accra, Istanbul, and Mumbai. By introducing multiple scales (neighborhood, city, and regional) of urban growth, the course seeks to foster an understanding of the socio-economic processes, physical planning and design practices, cultural influences, and policy interventions that influence urban design and planning. While introducing the basic analytic skills necessary for spatial interpretation, the course addresses the challenges and opportunities of future smart cities in the era of urban big data.

This course introduces urbanization in China in the context of the East Asian region and globalization. By examining the development of selected cities and discussing of experimental urban themes, this course aims to depict prevalent patterns of urbanization at appropriate levels, such as neighborhood types, metropolitan areas, and regional urban agglomeration. We examine traditional forms of settlement and place more recent urban phenomena in a broader historical perspective. We explore relevant political traditions and forms of planning administration to reveal underlying social, economic, cultural, and environmental circumstances at work while learning tools and methods of spatial analysis that can be applied to the study of cities worldwide.
