INNOVATIONS IN MEASURING DENSITY: FROM AREA AND LOCATION DENSITY TO ACCESSIBLE AND PERCEIVED DENSITY

- Although density has been an important concept for urban design and planning ever since the 19th century, it is an imprecise concept with varying definitions and measurements. This is annoying as the concept is central to strategies for sustainable urban development which have gained wide support since the 1990s. This paper gives a brief review of the most frequently used urban density measures and their shortcomings. In this paper, we will further show that a multivariable definition of density as proposed in the Spacemate method is needed to capture important morphological qualities that otherwise are lost in abstract numbers. The paper also addresses the Modifiable Area Unit Problem inherent to all measures of urban density, and proposes to solve this by introducing accessibility in the density measure. Defining distance is obviously a critical part of the accessibility measure and it is therefore proposed to use the axial map developed in space syntax, to measure distance. The axial map is a geometric representation of urban space based on graph theory, constructed from the point of view of a cognitive subject, i.e. an experiencing and acting human being. By doing so this paper arrives at a measure of accessible density that even can be understood as a measure of perceived density.

KI Arkitektur och kunskapsmiljö : Tävlingen/Etableringen/Förnyelsen
- 2010. - 1

Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Universitet och högskolor förknippas liksom många andra institutioner och verksamheter i vårt samhälle i så hög grad med sina byggnader att verksamheter och byggnader kan vara svåra att skilja från varandra. Det vi kan ana är att människor alltid använt byggandet för att etablera och upprätthålla både samhälleliga funktioner och mer vardagliga seder och bruk. Aktiviteter som lyckas etablera sig i byggd form blir en naturlig och stödjande del av vår fysiska verklighet, medan aktiviteter som inte blir manifesterade kan få svårare att överleva. I vår samtid, som präglas av en ständigt pågående förändring, kan etablerade lösningar också stå i vägen för ny utveckling och hindra oss från att se hur bebyggelsen skulle kunna utformas på ett annorlunda sätt. Mot denna bakgrund utgör KI – Karolinska Institutet – ett intressant exempel på samspelet mellan medvetet utformad bebyggelse och kvalificerad verksamhet. Karolinska Institutet är sedan lång tid tillbaka en av landets mest kreativa kunskapsmiljöer. Institutets bebyggelse har tillkommit under en längre tidsperiod och karakteriseras av höga ambitioner, där olika idéer om kunskapsproduktionens villkor har styrt såväl den övergripande planeringen som de enskilda byggnadernas utformning. Genom att tydliggöra dessa idéer och samtidigt undersöka hur det byggda resultatet fungerar, hoppas vi kunna bidra inte bara till en förståelse för Karolinska Institutets utveckling utan också till en mer generell kunskap om relationen mellan arkitektur och kunskapsmiljö.

- Academia has a long tradition of structuring itself around academic subjects, often epitomized through architectural manifestations such as individual buildings and whole campi. These materializations serve as sites of research and education, but also serve to describe the university as whole as well as its institutional parts, their definitions and their interrelations. This description goes deeper than simple definition of specific buildings for specific activities or subjects, but rather describes the idea of academic structures and relations between different people in the campi. This paper makes a comparative study of one of the more successful research universities in Stockholm, studying the use of spatial configuration and programming when the main campus was established in the first decade after the second world war, and how it was used in the following large-scale expansion beginning in the 1960s. It shows how, for both pragmatic and ideological reasons, radical shifts in the relation between buildings and academic subjects, as well as academic individuals and the units central to these descriptions, have taken place in the years in-between, and scrutinizes some of the effects coming with such a change.

Does the urban structure of Swedish cities inhibit the sharing of public space?

- This paper argues that a strong focus on residential segregation limits the understanding of the role of the built environment. The city is used as more than just a place of residence; urban life is far from restricted to where we live. The potential for interplay that develops as people share public space is argued to be just as important for integration processes as the residential mix. In addition, this article examines shortcomings related to the definition of residential segregation because of limitations within the scientific analysis of urban space: the evident difficulties in delimiting relevant geographical units and delimiting relevant social groups. The study is based on empirical analysis of Södertälje, Sweden. Södertälje topped international news when its mayor informed the US Congress that the city had managed to receive more refugees from the war in Iraq than the US and Canada combined. However, to what extent are these new immigrants given access to Swedish society through everyday practices? The results highlight how segregation in public space – including impaired accessibility to a range of resources such as places of work and contact with other people – is a very strong feature of excluded areas and is strongly disadvantageous for newcomers. These results challenge some of the beliefs in the current public debate as well as some of the principles used by Swedish authorities to ameliorate segregation.

The street: a key component for a less segregated city

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- As a counteraction to social segregation and exclusion, the local government in Go-thenburg, Sweden, has declared that the unequal life chances found in the city need to be levelled out. In particular, the poor conditions found in districts that today are socially dis-advantaged are of great concern. During the last four decades, a number of anti-segregation initiatives have been carried out in these districts but in spite of these far-reaching efforts, the situation remains highly problematic.Recent urban research examining ways that architecture and urban design can contribute to a less segregated city highlights especially the importance of the everyday urban spaces that make up city—public spaces such as streets, squares, parks, and so on—as it is there that various social processes decisive for integration processes take place. What is within easy access as we go about our day-to-day routines is highly significant, as is with whom we potentially share the street; both are of the utmost importance for matters related to social exclusion. Thus, the street—along with other public urban spaces—becomes an im-portant arena for interplay between citizens and for processes of recognition of ‘the other.’ The interplay that may come about is found to be related to the configurational properties of these public spaces.In order to transfer new knowledge from academia into practice about the role urban design can play in these matters, an initiative was implemented in the city of Gothenburg as an example. This research initiative identifies and describes affordances that are rele-vant from a social perspective in a comparative manner. The aim is to transform research knowledge into operational tools for urban planning and design practice that include the identification and development of typical descriptions, measurements, and indexes that can be useful in various planning situations or in the process of evaluating new proposals. The collaborative setup of the project, incorporating both practice and research, has led to intense discussion within the planning organization of Gothenburg, where new ideas about organizing and handling its different data sets and how the results of urban analysis can be integrated within the planning department and into participation processes. In this sense, the project has found a genuine interest in the kind of support that research can offer when addressing issues related to social sustainability in urban design and planning.
