Urban Design and Resilient Cities

The methodology aims to support the design of safer and more resilient public spaces, focusing on open areas within heritage districts and operating within a sustainability-oriented urban planning framework.

The UN Office of Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) launched the Making Cities Resilient Campaign policy to enhance disaster-resistant and sustainable urban environments through integrated disaster mitigation, reduction, response, and evacuation plans.

Simulating crowd behaviour to implement safety

ABSTRACT The paper describes research that addresses the issue of evacuation after a disaster event concerning the optimization of urban shape through the combination of simulations and safety-based urban design techniques. The methodology covers the following steps: the setting up of the knowledge system, the realization of software for the simulation of crowd behaviour, the choice of the ...

Key Details About Urban Design And Resilient Cities Simulating Crowd Behavior To Reduce

In this paper, we address these issues presenting EURASIM. Our system enables the automated generation of simulation models for urban areas. Furthermore, EURASIM is designed in a way that algorithms for evacuation planning can be easily integrated, thus functioning as a testbed for the development of even better solutions.
