An Integrated Modeling Approach Combining Multifractal Urban Planning with a Space Syntax Perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The United Nations Paris agreement of 2015 highlighted the need for urban planning to prevent and contain urban sprawl so as to reduce trip lengths through an efficient distribution of agglomerations and a well-balanced ... -
Assessing Spatial Configurations and Transport Energy Usage for Planning Sustainable Communities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Energy usage in cities is intertwined with its spatial configuration—the denser and more compact the city, the more concentrated and efficient the energy usage is to be expected. To achieve sustainable communities, cities ... -
Bill Hillier’s legacy: Space syntax—a synopsis of basic concepts, measures, and empirical application
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Bill Hillier’s space syntax method and theory enables us to describe the spatial properties of a sustainable city. Empirical testing of the space syntax method over time has confirmed the capacity and innovativeness of ... -
How gender differences and perceptions of safety shape urban mobility in Southeast Asia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Despite numerous studies on how gender differences affect transport mobility choices and perception of safety, there has been little emphasis on the influence of spatial and socio-cultural constructs on it, particularly ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This contribution investigates the correlation between street noise levels and the spatial configuration of the street network in four different types of neighbourhoods in the Algerian city of Biskra. Space syntax methods ... -
Realised pedestrian accessibility of an informal settlement in Jakarta, Indonesia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)To date, little is known about the interplay between transport, land use and the social systems that influence potential and realised accessibility in Southeast Asia. This paper aims to understand these relationships in ... -
Sexual violence in the city: Space, gender, and the occurrence of sexual violence in Rotterdam
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)There is a need for knowledge of how the spatial features of the urban environment can shape the potential for safe streets and a gender inclusive society. This research reveals the relationship between a built environment’s ... -
Spatial configurations and walkability potentials. Measuring urban compactness with space syntax
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This contribution demonstrates how space syntax methods on various scale levels can be used to identify and describe the spatial features of a compact city. Firstly, the term urban compactness is discussed. A short discussion ... -
The Emergence of Mobility Inequality in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia: A Socio-Spatial Analysis of Path Dependencies in Transport–Land Use Policies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Despite numerous studies suggesting a path-dependent relationship between transport–land use policies and urban structures, particularly on the emergence of car-oriented development, this connection has rarely been explained ...
