Spatial network analysis The base layer that makes sense of data The general approach of applying spatial design is firstly to understand the spatial structure of an existing urban environment and its influence on pedestrian movement, crime propensity, land and rental value, social interaction and urban buzz - in this case the Kings Cross regeneration area… Spatial Accessibility High Low

Spatial network analysis Testing ideas for new connections …and then to apply our knowledge of spatial structure to provide suitable development options. For example this first grid like option… Spatial Accessibility High Low

Spatial network analysis Identifying disconnected proposals …produces a weak pedestrian movement structure. Spatial Accessibility High Low

Our approach The creative use of scientific tools 建构交通 However, a more integrated route structure that links development into the right strategic connections surrounding the site… Spatial Accessibility High Low

Spatial network analysis Creating integrated urban proposals …is shown to produce a powerful and coherent movement structure. Spatial Accessibility High Low
