Sketching the City: A GIS-Based Approach

The use of municipal administrative data for performing urban design tasks is explored. The author describes a research project that uses geographic data, GIS-bascd algorithms, and mapping techniques to generate sketch plans. The nodes described by Kevin Lynch in 1960 in his book The Image of the City are generated. As well as the fact that the analysis is computer based the data used in the study were intentionally chosen to support further research into the suitability of a distributed GIS analysis model.
