Project Description

The research aims to create a complete city model benchmarking methodology based on urban design quantitative indicators. Benchmarking real cities versus classic and contemporary city models is possible and opens new windows of research on the debate on the ideal form of cities, as well as allowing for a better understanding of how to plan upcoming city expansions.
