KAEBUP – 3rd CyNUM Conference
The joint KAEBUP – 3rd CyNUM Conference brought together academics and professionals to address urban challenges through Evidence-Based Design and Planning (EBDP). Structured around seven thematic areas, it explored methodologies, case studies, public participation, and the role of urban morphology. The event fostered collaboration between research and practice for sustainable urban solutions, integrating data, theory, and interdisciplinary approaches.

PSUC 2018
The measure of axial intelligibility formulated by Hillier et al. (1987) contributed to a better understanding of the impact of urban layout on wayfinding and navigation. Its transferability to the street segment representation has proved challenging, highlighting to some extent the different development logics and complexities arising from urban environments depending on whether they are planned, incremental, or informal. Building on this work and more recent research, this talk explores further the nature of exploration in relatively simple and complex environments that arise from their development process. It revisits and discusses the notion of ‘intelligibilities’ to reflect the diversity of experiences when navigating various urban environments.
