(Para)metric Evaluation of Walkability, Diversity and Density in Low-income Neighborhoods - Using the CityMetrics toolbox
2019
This paper describes an implementation of the CityMetrics toolbox, in order to provide a dynamic assessment of metrics related to walkability, diversity and density in remote and low-income urban areas. The applied methodology was used in two remote neighborhoods of Juiz de Fora, which is a Brazilian city, in a case study. The objective was to identify and to evaluate a set of weaknesses in the addressed areas and to propose some improvements in the neighborhoods´ arrangements. The ultimate goal is to contribute to a better understanding of urban problems according to walkability, diversity and density, as well as to contribute to the discussion on the design and implementation of low-income real estate developments, facilitating the management of solutions in urban planning processes in this context.
