Leveraging GIS for Enhanced Urban Planning Insights from Global Street Networks

By Shahabuddin Amerudin Introduction Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become indispensable tools in urban planning, offering the capability to analyze spatial data and derive actionable insights for optimizing city layouts. By examining street network configurations from various global cities, GIS technologies can be leveraged to address urban planning challenges, improve infrastructure, and enhance overall city functionality. This discussion explores how GIS can be applied to different street network patterns, taking into account both historical and contemporary planning strategies. 1. Street Network Analysis and Planning 1.1. Grid vs. Organic Patterns GIS technologies provide robust methods for analyzing the efficiency and effectiveness […]

The Influence of Street Network Configurations on Urban Planning and Population Dynamics

By Shahabuddin Amerudin Introduction Urban planning is a multifaceted discipline that orchestrates the development and organization of cities to optimize functionality, sustainability, and livability. A fundamental component of urban planning is the design and configuration of street networks, which serve as the skeletal framework of urban spaces. Street networks not only facilitate transportation and connectivity but also profoundly influence land use patterns, economic activities, social interactions, and environmental outcomes (Hillier & Hanson, 1984; Marshall, 2005). The interplay between street network configurations and city populations is intricate, reflecting historical contexts, geographical constraints, and evolving urban development philosophies.
