Space-time information analysis for resource-conscious urban planning and design: A stakeholder based identification of urban metabolism data gaps

摘要

Highlights?We present a new tool to analyse the spatiotemporal dimension of resource flow data.?Urban planners and designers need resource flow information of varying resolution.?Required spatiotemporal resolution depends on the flow targeted by an intervention.?Amsterdam’s energy and water data generally have a lower resolution than required.AbstractThe research presented here examined at which spatial and temporal resolution urban metabolism should be analysed to generate results that are useful for implementation of urban planning and design interventions aiming at optimization of resource flows. Moreover, it was researched whether a lack of data currently hampers analysing resource flows at this desired level of detail. To facilitate a stakeholder based research approach, the SIRUP tool –“Space-time Information analysis for Resource-conscious Urban Planning”– was devel
