| summary |
This study investigates the application and challenges of compactness indexes in computational urban design. It begins with a conceptual review and application analysis of six urban form compactness indexes, classified into four categories. The study then identifies several issues in their current application, including imprecise referencing conditions, interpretational discrepancies, and opacity in computational parameters. Using actual blocks in Shanghai as case studies, it further verifies that parameter settings significantly influence calculation outcomes. This work emphasizes the importance of rigorous analysis of index application conditions in block-scale morphological measurements to prevent biases in computational design results. |
