Urban Design, Analysis, Space. Why data on city systems is as important as data on outcomes. Collecting data in cities is helpful as it provides something to measure progress against. It means measuring specific outcomes, which also means being very precise about what outcomes are important. To understand the difference between data on the outcomes of a system, and the variables in that system. To measure and analyse the urban systems that form the variables. The earlier post identified thre.

Is a science-based, human-focused approach that investigates relationships between spatial layout and a range of social, economic and environmental phenomena. These phenomena include patterns of movement, awareness and interaction; density, land use and land value; urban growth and societal differentiation; safety and crime distribution. Space syntax was pioneered in the 1970s by Prof Bill Hillier. Prof Julienne Hanson and colleagues at The Bartlett, University College London.
