With the growth of the global population, the expansion of metropolitan areas has become an essential aspect of land development. With the need for more space to accommodate the growing population, discussion on the best methods of expansion has arisen. Designing Grid Cities for Optimized Urban Development and Planning is a critical scholarly resource that explores the expansion and extension of metropolitan areas following “orthogonal” development plans. Featuring coverage on a wide range of topics, such as built environment, grid cities, and orthogonal urban matrix, this publication is geared towards engineers, city development planners, professionals, academicians, researchers, and students seeking current research on the advantages of using orthogonal development plans for metropolitan expansion.
L’argomento del volume costituisce un contributo a un tema emergente nel campo della Progettazione ambientale – intesa come ambito disciplinare della Tecnologia dell’Architettura – ovvero quello dello spazio ambientale urbano, in cui gli spazi intermedi costituiscono un rilevante focus di sperimentazione nell’evoluzione degli aspetti teorici e operativi sullo spazio abitabile della città contemporanea. Il testo parte, infatti, dal presupposto che gli “spazi intermedi”, concetto qualificante dei “vuoti urbani” pubblici e collettivi, rappresentino un fattore significativo per la ridefinizione degli spazi urbani nella attuale fase delle “nuove complessità”, esito delle i...
This book addresses a range of topics in design, such as universal design, design for all, digital inclusion, universal usability, and accessibility of technologies regardless of people’s age, financial situation, education, geographic location, culture and language. It especially focuses on accessibility for people with auditory, cognitive, neurological, and visual impairments, ageing populations, and mobility for those with special physical needs. The book explores some of the overlaps between inclusive design and web accessibility to help managers, designers, developers, policy makers, and researchers optimize their efforts in these areas. Based on the AHFE 2017 International Conference on Design for Inclusion, held on July 17–21, 2017 in Los Angeles, California, USA, it discusses new design technologies and highlights the disparate needs of the individuals within a community. Thanks to its multidisciplinary approach, the book represents a useful resource for readers with various backgrounds, providing them a timely, practice-oriented guide to design for inclusion.
