Pedestrian activity is a cornerstone for urban sustainability, with key implications for the environment, public health, social cohesion, and the local economy. Therefore, city planners, urban designers, and decision-makers require tools to predict pedestrian mobility and assess the walkability of existing or planned urban environments. For this purpose, diverse approaches have been used to analyze different inputs such as the street network configuration, density, land use mix, and the location of certain amenities. This paper focuses on the location of urban amenities as key elements for pedestrian flow prediction, and, therefore, for the success of public spaces in terms of the social life of city neighborhoods. Using agent-based modeling (ABM) and land use floor space data, this study builds a pedestrian flow model, which is applied to both existing and planned areas in the inner city of Hamburg, Germany. The pedestrian flows predicted in the planned area inform the ongoing design and planning process. The flows simulated in the existing area are compared against real-world pedestrian activity data for external validation to report the model accuracy. The results show that pedestrian flow intensity correlates to the density and diversity of amenities, among other KPIs. These correlations validate our approach and also quantify it with measurable indicators.

This study revisits the debate surrounding the definition of neighborhood boundaries by addressing the disconnect between the city’s Administrative Neighborhoods and its functional organization. A method is proposed for dividing the city into more meaningful units through the spatial distribution of urban activities by retrieving data from Google Places. The dataset was pre-processed and spatially divided into Functional Clusters. A comparison between functional and administrative subdivisions of the city was undertaken, from which three overall conclusions could be drawn. First, a function-based city partition allows economically active urban areas to become the neighborhood’s center, thereby creating a polynuclear neighborhood structure that would potentially encourage greater cross-movement of people throughout the city. Second, the specialization of activities becomes more evident in Functional Clusters than in Administrative Neighborhoods. Third, access to up-to-date data makes possible a timely diagnosis of the quantity and diversity of urban activities—i.e., economic activities, services, and facilities—through Google Places data. The value of this contribution is to inform urban decision-making and policies in order to better balance the provision of a neighborhood’s economic activity.

The paper presents a method to operationalize Jan Gehl’s questions for public space into metrics to map Russian monotowns’ urban life in 2017. With the use of social media data, it becomes possible to scale Gehl’s approach from the survey of small urban areas to the analysis of entire cities while maintaining the human scale’s resolution. When underperforming public spaces are detected, we propose a matrix for urban design interventions using Jane Jacobs’ typologies for good city life. Furthermore, this method could be deployed to improve the conditions of public spaces in Russian monotowns through a series of architectural briefs for design competitions and urban design guidelines for local administrations.

The research presented in this paper describes an evaluation of the impact of spatial interventions in public spaces, measured by social media data. This contribution aims at observing the way a spatial intervention in an urban location can affect what people talk about on social media. The test site for our research is Domplatz in the center of Hamburg, Germany. In recent years, several actions have taken place there, intending to attract social activity and spotlight the square as a landmark of cultural discourse in the city of Hamburg. To evaluate the impact of this strategy, textual data from the social networks Twitter and Instagram (i.e., tweets and image captions) are collected and analyzed using Natural Language Processing intelligence. These analyses identify and track the cultural topic or “people talking about culture” in the city of Hamburg. We observe the evolution of the cultural topic, and its potential correspondence in levels of activity, with certain intervention actions carried out in Domplatz. Two analytic methods of topic clustering and tracking are tested. The results show a successful topic identification and tracking with both methods, the second one being more accurate. This means that it is possible to isolate and observe the evolution of the city’s cultural discourse using NLP. However, it is shown that the effects of spatial interventions in our small test square have a limited local scale, rather than a city-wide relevance.

Durante el período correspondiente al cambio del siglo XIX al XX en Viena, se persigue un estilo propio y único, der Wiener Stil, que diferencie al imperio Habsburgo de Alemania, del resto de Europa, y de la tradición historicis-ta. Esta búsqueda de una identidad propia se aborda desde varios prismas importantes o corrientes estilísticas, con preocupaciones e intenciones diferentes y algunos puntos en común. El pensamiento propio de cada corriente se refleja en su estilo formal y es resultado de los procesos de gestación y generación de las mismas. Asimismo, la figura del café vienés es fundamental, en términos sociales y culturales, para comprender estos procesos. En este contexto, resulta imprescindible el trabajo del arquitecto Adolf Loos que ha sido investigado en múltiples ocasiones y desde diversas disciplinas, al igual que su concepción sobre la publicidad y la privacidad; sin embargo, cómo éstas afectan a los espacios que se sitúan en el límite entre lo público y lo privado, todavía no ha sido tratado en profundidad. Este trabajo analiza el espacio del café vienés como un lugar en el que el carácter de lo público y de lo doméstico intersectan y se profundiza en ellos desde el prisma de pensamiento loosiano, en relación con las co-rrientes coetáneas.

Harbors are complex sociotechnical systems in which several agents are involved. The Port City Model (PCM) is a project that investigates multimodal land transportation related to cruise tourism, focusing on comfort and efficiency from the user perspective. To do so, it combines data analysis and visualization with simulation of future scenarios. The outcome is a software tool running on an interactive hardware platform that simplifies decision-making and facilitates dialogue among the stakeholders involved in the optimization of cruise passenger routes planning. This paper offers a description of the project with special focus on Agent-Based simulations to model flows and routes linking the Hamburg Central Station to different Cruise Terminals.

The paper presents a method to operationalise Jan Gehl's categorisation of dweller's activity patterns in public space using Foursquare data. The 'Urban Activity Wheel' method is instrumental in showing how location based social media data is beneficial to understand the distribution and variety of contemporary activity patterns. Re-organising both location-based social media data and statistical sources, unearths emerging activity patterns across scales from local to regional city making. Urban Activity Wheel shifts focus from the traditional functional analysis of urban space towards understanding activities and, thus, the human perspective of use, practices and new agencies. A specific analysis, the Shannon-Wiener Index of the complexity implemented on urban activities, gives further hints about the experiential qualities and development opportunities of urban spaces and neighbourhoods.

El análisis del espacio público urbano a partir de su dimensión perceptual ha sido, tradicionalmente, un recurso fundamental para reconocer qué características físicas lo diferencian y le confieren actividad y vitalidad. Esta aproximación es particularmente relevante en entornos urbanos transformados. Conocer la percepción social sobre el espacio público permite valorar en qué medida las acciones realizadas modifican las dinámicas urbanas. Bajo esta consideración, el objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar la vida urbana tras la transformación de la Calle San Francisco, en Alicante, España, en un espacio lúdico caracterizado por la implantación de una serie de setas gigantes. Para ello, se definieron y evaluaron tres indicadores de vida pública: las actividades económicas en la edificación antes y después de la intervención; el uso social del espacio proyectado; y, la imagen pública —o imagen percibida— resultante. Se propone una metodología híbrida que combina los datos recogidos en un estudio de campo con los datos provenientes de fuentes de base tecnológica, concretamente, de la red social Instagram y del servicio web Google Street View. Los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto que la utilización de datos offline y online permite confirmar, complementar o cuestionar las deducciones parciales de cada uno de los métodos, ratificando así que la transformación de la Calle San Francisco ha modificado sustancialmente no sólo su identidad física, sino sobre todo la imagen colectiva del espacio con relación a la del resto de la ciudad. En definitiva, este trabajo evidencia la pertinencia de incorporar técnicas de base tecnológica para entender la complejidad de las relaciones sociales, físicas y virtuales, que se producen como consecuencia de la transformación de un espacio urbano.
