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 ... -
Building detection with convolutional networks trained with transfer learning
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Building footprint detection based on orthophotos can be used to update the building cadastre. In recent years deep learning methods using convolutional neural networks have been increasingly used around the world. We ... -
Cadastral development in Norway: the need for improvement
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Cadastral systems provide important information for the public and private sectors. To understand the functions and impacts of a cadastral system one needs to understand its development. The Norwegian cadastral system has ... -
Computing Consensus: A Logic for Reasoning About Deliberative Processes Based on Argumentation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Argumentation theory can encode an agent’s assessment of the state of an exchange of points of view. We present a conservative model of multiple agents potentially disagreeing on the views presented during a process of ... -
Conceptualizing Mobility Inequality: Mobility and Accessibility for the Marginalized
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The burgeoning landscape of literature on mobility inequalities has led to discrepancies between a conceptual understanding of mobility inequalities and its implementation in planning practice. Reviewing 270 publications ... -
Endurance and implementation in small-scale bottom-up initiatives: How social learning contributes to turning points and critical junctures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This article studies how social learning can contribute to change, by applying the concepts of Turning Points and Critical Junctures to the pre-implementation lifecycles of small-scale bottom-up initiatives. It proposes ... -
An evaluation of the ice melting during concrete-ice abrasion experiment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The process of ice melting during abrasive interactions with concrete is essential in a variety of contact phenomena. In this paper, we refer to abrasive tests for different samples of concrete with roughness in the range ... -
Every-day mobility anecdotes: Addressing the blind spot of goal- and expert-oriented mobility research
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Every-day mobility anecdotes provide in-depth insights into, and a deeper connection with, the complex reality of how mobility practices are conceived and perceived in a way that more aggregated research approaches overlook ... -
Exploring challenges in Space Syntax theory building: The use of positivist and hermeneutic explanatory models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The planning and building of sustainable cities and communities yields operational theories on urban space. The novelty of this paper is that it discusses and explores the challenges for space syntax theory building within ... -
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 ... -
Maladaptive Planning and the Pro-Innovation Bias: Considering the Case of Automated Vehicles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This article argues that a more critical approach to innovation policy within planning is needed and offers recommendations for achieving this. These recommendations entail rethinking the values, focus, speed, and legitimacy ... -
Noise and spatial configuration in Biskra, Algeria: A space syntax approach to understand the built environment for visually impaired people
(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 ... -
On Preemption and Overdetermination in Formal Theories of Causality
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)One of the key challenges when looking for the causes of a complex event is to determine the causal status of factors that are neither individually necessary nor individually sufficient to produce that event. In order to ... -
The Qualities of Architecture in Relation to Universal Design
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aesthetic experience of the built environment involves all our senses: the sight of colour and form; the echo in a room; the smell of wood; the touch of handrails; the refreshing cool air on the skin, and so on. However, ... -
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 ... -
Riegl's 'Modern Cult of Monuments' as a theory underpinning practical conservation and restoration work
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)‘The Modern Cult of Monuments: Its Character and Origin’ (1903), written by Alois Riegl, is the first systematic analysis of heritage values and of a theory of restoration. His values and concepts became fundamental ... -
