Описание: How can simulation tools help us understand green and urban spaces in Barcelona?

This study aims to create a tool that gauges the understanding of green and urban spaces through selected key performance indicators, based on visual inputs in an urban setting. Some of the three main inputs applied include tree geo-locations, number of buildings, and road area. Furthermore, this urban generator tool may provide a virtual visualization key performance index such as green space, CO2 capture, the sum of buildings, and green density in urban planning and replace the traditional green indexes at a community scale for urban administrators.

Efficient computation and visualization are accomplished through the use of techniques from computational design inputs. The study will demonstrate the effectiveness of urban generator in helping planners to develop simulation tools to understand green and urban spaces, particularly in this case, the city of Barcelona. Moreover, depicting how a data-driven understanding of the value and impact of speculative iterations can benefit the design-development process for urban planners and city municipalities to quickly have data-driven decision making for urban development.
