summary |
Integrated mixed-use developments are increasingly taking the form of vertical extensions of urban spaces on the ground. The spatial networks within the evolving vertical neighbourhoods, their relationships with the larger urban fabric, and the user interactions within these complex multi-layered urban built environments are numerous and varied. This paper presents an analytical framework to map and analyse the pedestrian connectivity within the vertically integrated urban open space network and its interactions with the ground level urban fabric using a Network Science-based approach. The research uses Kampung Admiralty, a first-of-its-kind building site scale 'vertical city' prototype in Singapore, as a case study. A 3d pedestrian network link model mapping the pedestrian connectivity within the development is generated and analysed to understand the flows and accessibility to the vertically distributed urban open spaces. This 3d pedestrian link model is further combined with the 2d urban walking network at the ground level to generate an integrated neighbourhood-level walkability analysis. Analysing the two-dimensional connectivity at the ground level and comparing the influence of linking the three-dimensional vertical connectivity to the ground network generates valuable design insights into the spatial performance of vertically integrated developments in their immediate urban context. |
