Exploring the determinants of spatial pattern in residential land markets: amenities and disamenities in Charlotte, NC, USA

Munroe, Darla K - In: Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design 34 (2007) 2, pp. 336-354

In this paper I present an empirical analysis of spatial patterns in land markets in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, between 2000 and 2003. It is well known that land markets reflect a variety of spatial factors that collectively influence market value, yet it is empirically difficult to...

A Palladian construction grammar—design reasoning with shape grammars and rapid prototyping

Sass, Larry - In: Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design 34 (2007) 1, pp. 87-106

Presented is a production system that generates information for physical model manufacture with a 3D-printing device. Defined here as a construction grammar, rule sets based on 16th-century-masonry construction are used to generate a villa model as a 3D construct. The derivation of the grammar...

Comparing sky shape skeletons for the analysis of visual dynamics along routes

Sarradin, François; Siret, Daniel; Couprie, Michel; … - In: Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design 34 (2007) 5, pp. 840-857

The motion of an observer in a given space produces a particular perception called motion perspective. This has been defined by Gibson as the gradual changes in the rate of displacements of contour lines in the visual field of the observer. This paper describes a new approach intended for...

The interrelationships between building regulations and architects’ practices

Imrie, Rob - In: Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design 34 (2007) 5, pp. 925-943

It is commonly assumed that building regulation and control is a technical activity and part of a bureaucratic machine external to the design process. For many architects building regulations are no more than a set of rules to be adhered to, and are usually seen as ephemeral, even incidental, to...

Optimal reserve site selection with multiple levels of protection

Williams, Justin C; ReVelle, Charles S; Song, Wenjie - In: Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design 34 (2007) 4, pp. 725-739

Most prior decision models for nature reserve-site selection have considered just two options for candidate sites: protected or not protected. In many reserve planning contexts this is an artificial and unrealistic limitation, as multiple categories of protection may be possible and desirable,...

Building a city in vitro: the experiment and the simulation model

Hatna, Erez; Benenson, Itzhak - In: Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design 34 (2007) 4, pp. 687-707

All current urban models accept the ‘first-order recursion’ view, namely, that the state of an urban system at time t is sufficient for predicting its state at t+1. This assumption is not at all evident in the case of urban development, where the behavior of developers and planners is...
