Course Background Description
The flexibility in setting up designs for green- and brownfield developments leads to an overwhelming complexity when taking various pre-existing factors into consideration. As planners can define desired building typologies, zoning definitions, functional alignments, it becomes challenging to get an overview on all overlapping factors that are influencing each other. Though regulations already exist, they do not necessarily ensure reaching desired qualities in the longer-term outcome of the plan.
Even small changes in the design can have a large impact on how environmental conditions affect the proposed development area, including factors such as sun-exposure, wind conditions, traffic noise or pedestrian movement patterns. Simulating these factors one-by-one has been a costly and time-consuming task, where urban designers and architects, have been outsourcing simulation and modelling activities, wait for the calculations, make adaptations and then restart the simulation process from the beginning.
New technologies enable the enhancement of these simulation tasks and facilitate gathering calculation outputs for the evaluation of the design proposal in a much shorter timeframe. The research team of Digital City Science developed a tool that utilizes these technologies – COUP, or Cockpit for Collaborative Urban Planning.  COUP saves money and time for all actors involved, reduces uncertainty for real estate developers and unleashes creativity for architects and designers, when it simulates in an integrated way the mentioned four attributes _sun, wind, noise and pedestrian flows_ in near-real time and for every new proposed district or building. The tool allows for design optimization at an early stage, where costs of changes are minimal, avoiding addressing these at a later planning or construction stage. It allows for multi-layered analysis of different environmental or physical impacts, thanks to the simulation modules, which in the traditional planning process is not possible to assess in a simultaneous way. The physical user interface (UI) is designed for participation and allows for near-real-time interaction and iteration, thus enhancing consensus reaching for planning among multi-stakeholder sessions. The web application UI enables remote consultation and verification of the project design, measuring important trade-offs in the proposal.

Specific Objectives of the Course:

1. Understanding: As part of the theoretical framework of the course, the students will understand the leap between traditional means of planning versus data-supported and technology-based planning processes.
2. Analysis: Through the interactive activities with COUP, the students will be able to analyse the impact of the overlapping parameters which affect the urban environment. 
3. Assessment: Enabling through the application of the tool, how to assess among different solutions which consider the multiple environmental factors around the urban environment, from a more scientific and evidence-based perspective.  This will be of value when understanding a neighbourhood scale design project. 
4. Transdisciplinary Connections: Bringing students closer to all realms to be considered around urban planning _ e.g. cultural and social background, location-bound characteristics such as climate, legal economic and political parameters linked to a project.
5. Reflection: Students will ultimately reflect on how the interaction with a collaborative digital planning tool, can contribute to innovative decision-making processes from a transdisciplinary approach.
