Urban residential environments and senior citizens' longevity in megacity areas: the importance of walkable green spaces

​

This is a great space to urbanalyse works inbetween the fields of architecture.

In essence, since the “failures” of midcentury modernist planning, the act of designing a city from scratch has been excised as a core competency of urban design education. In turn, design and planning’s capacity to adequately (or appropriately) conceive of and implement new urban form has eroded. As a result, what is most often being peddled as “urban design” today is simply scaled-up reproductions of “proven” urban formats, or dystopic renderings of new settlement as implausible architectural icons.
