INTENSIFY-ED NET-WALK CITY

Abstract

Congestion has been a real problem nowadays. The current way of city planning and building design might not be able to sustain the fast growing population of the world that is continuing flocking into urban city. In order to achieve efficient city intensification and growth, studies and calculation are done to evaluate various strategies that are possible and effective. This thesis aims to propose a new paradigm of city planning that would be more efficient and improve the quality of city life. The focus is to intensify a city in terms of functions to bring about balance and vibrancy. A 3-dimensional network is then introduced in order to reduce its density such that the quality of city life is not compromised. A building design is coupled in this thesis to demonstrate how the city planning is incorporated into the building planning to allow for efficient development.
