“…A growing body of studies has explored evaluation and value in urban design (Carmona et al 2001;Carmona, De Magalhães, and Edwards 2002;Chiaradia, Sieh, and Plimmer 2017), urban planning (Oliveira and Pinho 2010) urban regeneration (Tyler et al 2013) and innovation and technology policy studies (Arnold 2004;Edler et al 2012). The UK Government's Green Book provides guidance on project and programme evaluation, including techniques to assess the economic, financial, social and environmental benefits and costs of urban design, development and innovation, with attention to different stakeholder interests (HM Treasury 2013).…”

Smart city developments integrate digital, human and physical systems in the built environment. With growing urbanization and widespread developments, identifying suitable evaluation methodologies is important. Case-study research across five UK cities-Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Milton Keynes and Peterborough revealed that city evaluation approaches were principally projectfocused with city-level evaluation plans at early stages. Key challenges centred on selecting suitable evaluation methodologies to evidence urban value and outcomes, addressing city authority requirements. Recommendations for evaluation design draw on urban studies and measurement frameworks, capitalizing on big data opportunities and developing appropriate, valid, credible integrative approaches across projects, programmes and city-level developments.

“…While the results are fragmented, some of these conceptualization and assessment techniques of good design, correlates against economic value findings and economic underpinning. While yet to be consolidated by further research, they have been integrated and operationalized by consultancies Tribal Urban Studio, CBuchanan, 2008;Amion Consulting;Taylor Young;Donaldsons;University of Liverpool, 2007) advising local authorities on capturing the value of public investment in good urban design (Chiaradia, et al, 2015). Following Zhang (2007) we doubt that these studies are directly transferable to Shanghai; more research is needed.…”

Accessibility determination has become one of the key issues to interpret the relationship between urban form and travel pattern in metropolitan areas. Although the use of urban planning and design and associated accessibility influence travel makes intuitive sense, researchers have found it difficult to provide clear evidence of the influence of urban form. At the same time, it is generally recognized that land use patterns and transportation patterns are closely related to each other through accessibility change. The spatial organization of human activities creates a pattern of personal travel and goods transport, thus influences the mobility behaviour of actors such as households and firms. Conversely the availability of infrastructure makes certain locations more or less accessible. This paper identifies spatially desegregated micro-macro configurations of structural flow derived from accessibility analysis and their relationships with urban block size, road and metro-line network design, metro stations and bus stop locations, commercial land use locations distribution and station usage in Shanghai, China. Using GIS and spatial Design Network Analysis (sDNA) software to perform multi-level accessibility analysis of each link in each network, this revealed that most of the metro stations, bus stops and commercial land use are co-located on parts of the road network with the highest level of micro to macro accessibility. This indicates a 'coupling multiplier effect' between metro stations, commercial land use and multi-level multi network structural flow derived from accessibility analysis. Moreover block size is revealed as an important variable. These findings suggest the possibility of strategically appraising the impact of block size and land use planning on micro-macro accessibility change due to transportation system change and thus further the potential for systematically guiding transport oriented development planning and design place making. commercial land use and multi-level multi network structural flow derived from accessibility analysis. Moreover block size is revealed as an important variable. These findings suggest the possibility of evaluating and appraising strategically the effectiveness of block size and land use planning in relation to micro-macro accessibility change due to transportation system change and thus further the potential for systematically guiding transport oriented development planning and design place making.

“…Wilson and Zamberlan (2017) argue that creativity can be optimally achieved as a product of connectivity, for which we deliberately encourage the cross-fertilization of ideas by actively connecting different facets of practice and bridging them through collaborations. Thus, when teaching design, it is important to provide a collaborative learning environment where social knowledge can be built through design actions and reflections among students in the form of conversations about design situations (Schön 1987;Chiaradia, Sieh, and Plimmer 2017;Pak and Verbeke 2013).…”

This paper discusses experimental studios within an incremental collaboration framework to better understand the opportunities of peer-to-peer learning and student collaboration. Using qualitative methods including observation, interviews, peer-evaluations, and descriptive assessments of student work, the study revealed that collaboration can lead to both progression and regression in overall learning processes depending on the approach (mandatory/selfdirected), group composition, and how students arrive at common decisions. The findings suggest that a strategically designed studio structure combined with multiple, diversified collaboration strategies are essential to give students successful learning experiences in both explicit and tacit forms.
