citydirection
Citydirection is a conceptual framework in urban planning and geospatial analysis that examines how the directional organization of a city influences movement, access, and land use. It treats directionality as a core design variable, integrating street networks, transit corridors, pedestrian flows, and topography to evaluate and guide development decisions.
The idea emerges from the convergence of GIS technologies, transportation planning, and walkability studies in the
Practitioners use GIS-based network models to map directional flows, identify principal axes, and simulate scenarios such
Applications of citydirection include informing street design, transit planning, and public space allocation. It supports decisions
Limitations and considerations involve avoiding an overemphasis on direction at the expense of local context and
