Fluctuating population density of urban public spaces
Urban eco-system comprises of to distinct layers one static built mass, and second, dynamic floating and moving population. This static-dynamic interface can be an interesting subject of study. Imagin fast pace time laps photography capturing to and fro movement of colony of black ants targting an abandoned sweet candy lying spotless white floor. Now imagine movement of population (ant) in a sprawling city (floor) on any average day.
One of the ways to study the intracity population flux can be as follows.
Demarcating zones in the city based on functional characteristics like, offices, residential, commercial, educational, recreational, transit etc, further deviding zones in smallest possible zones to be covered by an individual, lets call it urban pixel , studying each of these pixels for a given sizable period of time using time-laps photographs, vedios and conducting survays, preparing index and assigning rating to each of these small zones in term of population flux, which means assigning a range of rating based on tentative number or quantum of population present at that particular zone or pixal, deriving matrix of population flux for the entire city and further preparing population flux plan for the city.
I think this is one of the most significant information for me.
ReplyDeleteAnd i am glad reading your article. But wanna remark on some general things, The website style is
great, the articles is really nice : D. Good job, cheers
