“…This engagement is critical both for evidence-based city planning as well as for collaborative community-building in an era of ubiquitous technology. In particular, the Smart Cities paradigm today aims to quantify and measure urban patterns and processes in a positivist approach to understanding, controlling, and improving cities through information technology (Angelo and Vormann, 2018;Kitchin, 2016;Krivý, 2018;Townsend, 2015;Watson, 2015). As an epistemological project, Smart Cities research and practice take many diverse forms (Albino et al, 2015;Ismagilova et al, 2019;Lytras and Visvizi, 2018;Stone et al, 2018;Visvizi et al, 2018).…”

Urban planning and morphology have relied on analytical cartography and visual communication tools for centuries to illustrate spatial patterns, propose designs, compare alternatives, and engage the public. Classic urban form visualizations -from Giambattista Nolli's ichnographic maps of Rome to Allan Jacobs's figure-ground diagrams of city streets -have compressed physical urban complexity into easily comprehensible information artifacts. Today we can enhance these traditional workflows through the Smart Cities paradigm of understanding cities via user-generated content and harvested data in an information management context. New spatial technology platforms and big data offer new lenses to understand, evaluate, monitor, and manage urban form and evolution. This paper builds on the theoretical framework of visual cultures in urban planning and morphology to introduce and situate computational data science processes for exploring urban fabric patterns and spatial order. It demonstrates these workflows with OSMnx and data from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative spatial information system and mapping platform, to examine street network patterns, orientations, and configurations in different study sites around the world, considering what these reveal about the urban fabric. The age of ubiquitous urban data and computational toolkits opens up a new era of worldwide urban form analysis from integrated quantitative and qualitative perspectives.Cite: Boeing, G.

“…In the design phase, information, construction knowledge, environmental, social and economic impacts need to be taken into overall consideration [93]. It is necessary to unify decision-makers, supervisors, investors, designers, construction parties, owners, and other stakeholders to participate in the design of BIM [8]. BIM integrates with sustainable building design process model [71] to collect a lot of unstable data information.…”

“…The smart city strategy brings innovative changes to the region that helps the region improve its image and status, promote industrial development, attract high-quality talents, and contributes to the formation of a smart city model that is urgently needed for resilient settlements in a climate emergency [7]. Smart sustainable cities are currently the main development mode adopted by cities around the world, because this mode can best respond to environmental changes, ensure that the government is clean and honest, innovate the global network economy, and improve the quality of life [8].…”

Blockchain and Building Information Management (BIM) for Sustainable Building Development within the Context of Smart Cities

et al. 2021

‘Smart cities’ are a new type of city where stakeholders are jointly responsible for urban management. City Information Management (CIM) is an output tool for smart city planning and management, which assists in achieving the sustainable development of urban infrastructure, and promotes smart cities to achieve the goals of stable global economic development, sustainable environmental development, and improvement of people’s quality of life. Existing research has so far established that blockchain and BIM have great potential to enhance construction project performance. However, there is little research on how blockchain and BIM can support sustainable building design and construction. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explore the potential impact of the integration of blockchain and BIM in a smart city environment on making buildings more sustainable within the context of CIM/Smart Cities. The paper explores the relationships between blockchain, BIM and sustainable building across the life cycle stage of a construction project. This paper queries the Web of Science (WoS) database with keywords to obtain relevant publication, and then uses the VOSviewer to visually analyze the relationships between blockchain, BIM, and sustainable building within the context of smart cities and CIM, which is conducted in bibliometric analysis followed by micro scheme analysis. The results demonstrate the value of this method in gauging the importance of these three topics, highlighting their interrelationships and identifying trends, giving researchers an objective research direction. Those aspects reported in the paper constitute an original contribution.

“…Essas tecnologias ainda permitem conhecer padrões coletivos e dinâmicos -como comportamentos de viagem, mobilidade e recursividade de atividades, fatores de saúde pública e segurança, e dinâmicas de localização e transformação urbana (Evans-Cowley & Griffin, 2012). Permitem ainda explorar a relação entre forma urbana e comportamentos dos cidadãos alimentados em plataformas digitais de participação social, dando suporte a abordagens de planejamento baseadas em evidências e dados e as tecnologias promovidas pelas smart cities (Angelo & Vormann, 2018;Kitchin, 2016).…”

Resumo O presente artigo tem dois objetivos. Primeiro, traça um panorama inicial da pesquisa sobre forma urbana no Brasil e no Rio de Janeiro. Para tanto, discute algumas características das abordagens desenvolvidas nesse contexto bem como sinaliza possibilidades para o campo, incluindo expansões conceituais e metodológicas capazes de reconhecer as conexões entre forma urbana, cognição e dinâmicas sociais. Segundo, ilustra essas possibilidades com uma nova abordagem sobre a forma urbana como “informação”. A abordagem explora os modos como preservamos informação no ambiente físico e semântico das cidades e como usamos essa informação ambiental para atuar e tomar decisões sobre ações e interações a realizar. Para entender o papel da informação ambiental na ação e cooperação social, a abordagem reúne modelos computacionais de cidades e comportamentos bem como medidas de informação e entropia latentes nas estruturas físicas e semânticas das cidades. Esses métodos permitem examinar cidades com grande grau de detalhe e interpretar diferenças entre ambientes urbanos como “assinaturas de informação” potencialmente consistentes com diferentes culturas espaciais. Finalmente, a abordagem permite avaliar o impacto de diferentes ambientes urbanos sobre ações e graus de cooperação entre as pessoas.
