🏙️ This is how city science techniques are revolutionizing urban environments to boost performance and enhance quality of life with Ramon Gras Alomà. The Harvard researcher and Aretian Urban Analytics and Design co-founder delves into the case study of Madrid, dissecting its diverse urban patterns to reveal how they shape the city’s dynamics and impact the everyday lives of its citizens. Learn how these insights can be applied to enhance other cities, providing actionable data for urban design, economic development and community well-being. 📍Join us at this year's #TBWC24 to explore more about achieving these attainable urban goals: https://loom.ly/Rq-kUQ4 📹 Watch Ramon Gras Alomà's full article here: https://loom.ly/ZoZblnM ⤵️ Swipe to explore city science techniques

Cities like Vienna, Austria and Lucerne, Switzerland, are using augmented reality (AR) to create more sustainable cities. Here's how 🔽 AR allows planners and architects to visualize potential changes in real-time before implementation. This technology overlays virtual elements onto real-world environments, helping professionals and the public understand the impact of new buildings, infrastructure projects and urban adjustments. By transforming abstract concepts into tangible visual experiences, AR: + Minimizes errors + Reveals new opportunities + Fosters community engagement 📏 For architects, AR provides a powerful tool to refine designs, ensuring that new structures harmonize with their surroundings and meet the needs of urban residents. 📘Read more from Tomorrow.City: https://loom.ly/K0A2XFY

Ever wondered how nature can inspire cutting-edge technology? 🌍 Dive into the world of biomimicry, where engineers and architects look to the natural world for solutions: 🔍 What is biomimicry? + "Imitating life" to solve human challenges sustainably + Designs inspired by nature's efficiency and resilience 🚅 Innovative examples: + Shinkansen bullet train's kingfisher beak design: Faster, quieter, and more energy-efficient + Buildings with termite-inspired natural ventilation: Eco-friendly and cost-effective In the future, architecture will increasingly integrate natural processes, resulting in buildings that are more adaptable + resilient. Imagine algae-powered structures like Hamburg’s BIQ House, producing energy from nature, or buildings made from self-repairing materials that mimic animal skin, regulating temperature and humidity. 📰 Curious about how nature’s genius can shape our world?

Cities are increasingly seeking smart solutions to the challenges posed by climate change. This is how ⤵️ 🌍 The built environment—comprising our buildings, roads, parks, and infrastructure—faces increasing threats from climate change. Rising temperatures, frequent floods, and deteriorating air quality are just the beginning. 🏗️ As urban areas expand, so do the challenges. From increased heat risks and urban flooding to air pollution and property damage, cities are at the frontline of climate impacts. But there's hope: Cities worldwide are adapting, implementing green roofs, enhancing emergency preparedness and updating building codes. Urban planning + innovative policies can safeguard our cities and promote a resilient future. 📖 Read more from EPA: https://loom.ly/X9JWw1U #ClimateAction #UrbanPlanning #SustainableCities

Self-healing concrete could revolutionize construction. Let's explore how 🏗️ Self-healing concrete repairs itself, preventing cracks from compromising structural integrity. Developed through bio-construction techniques, it offers a sustainable future in construction. These are some of it's benefits: + Extended infrastructure lifespan: it reduces the need for frequent maintenance. + Lower carbon emissions: it extends concrete life, decreasing new material production and associated emissions. + Enhanced safety: it prevents water penetration, reducing structural collapse risk. + Cost savings: it could eventually cut EU infrastructure maintenance costs by half.

To what extent should citizens be involved in the urban planning of their cities? 🏙️ In the age of smart cities, innovative tools and technologies are empowering residents to contribute to urban design, ensuring that streets reflect their own needs and preferences. 🗺️ Salt Lake City's pioneering project exemplifies this shift by involving citizens in redefining road typologies to prioritize people's necessities over vehicles. This model is based on facilitating the flow of traffic around the city. As urbanism integrates more democratic processes, the future of city planning looks set to be more inclusive, sustainable and community-focused.
