City Sense(s) and Sustainable Urban Design

Abstract

With the accelerating process of globalization and urbanization, the space of the city plays an increasingly important role in our daily lives. Although science and technology enable us to better communicate with the whole world, the need for concrete physical experiences in the real world has not diminished. Sustainable Urban Design Program at Faculty of Engineering of Lund University has been dedicated in sustainable urban design for more than 10 years. In this interview, Associate Professor Peter Siöström dissects the impacts of city sense(s) on sustainable urban design, discusses the concepts of identity and city image, analyzes the influences of technology application like big data in urban design, as well as making a prospective outlook to the future of landscape architecture.
