But the study of walkability remains largely a research endeavor, with insufficient connections to urban design practice. Applied modeling tools to predict pedestrian activity in planned developments remain lacking or difficult for design teams to use.\u0026nbsp;This presentation discusses Urban Network Analysis tools, distributed by the Harvard GSD City Form Lab, specifically developed for urban designers and planners to predict pedestrian flows on spatial\u0026nbsp;networks. The presentations discusses how the tools have been applied in both urban research and practice and explores the role of evidence-based design in contemporary urban planning and design practice more generally.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u201cIntegrating Urban Analytics and Design to Achieve Walkable Cities\u201d"}],"uid":"34637","created_gmt":"2018-11-20 19:31:36","changed_gmt":"2018-11-20 19:31:36","author":"zkafkes3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-11-30T12:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2018-11-30T13:45:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-11-30T13:45:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-11-30 17:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-11-30 18:45:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-11-30 18:45:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1224","name":"School of City \u0026 Regional Planning"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
