DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ulrike Wissen Hayek\nCurrently\, great efforts are taken t
 o develop new strategies and guidelines for transforming agglomerations in
 to urban patterns of high quality. These new approaches need to facilitate
  collaborations between science and a variety of public and private stakeh
 olders to come up with robust solutions. They should enable them to make d
 ecisions on urban development taking into account multiple dimensions\, al
 ternative development possibilities\, and performance indicators at multip
 le planning scales. A major challenge is to consolidate the information su
 itable to inform policies and local actors to create better understanding 
 of human-environment interaction. A collaborative urban planning platform 
 comprising suitable instruments for supporting this task is presented\, wh
 ich is set up in the scope of the NRP 65 project “Sustainable Urban Patt
 erns”. Focus is laid on an approach that allows for cross-scale analysis
  of urban development scenarios addressing economic\, social and environme
 ntal aspects of urban quality. Practical interfaces for implementing an in
 tegrated behavioural and transport modelling system in transdisciplinary p
 lanning processes are illustrated. The indicators calculated based on the 
 modelling output provide evidence on possible urban pattern’s potential 
 quality supporting social equity and liveability. Overall\, the presented 
 approach has high potential to organize a future oriented mutual sustainab
 ility learning and capacity building among stakeholders\, planning experts
  and scientists.\nBio: After an apprenticeship as landscaper Dr. Ulrike Wi
 ssen Hayek studied and made her diploma in landscape architecture and plan
 ning at the Technical University of Munich (Germany) in 2000. Then she wor
 ked from 2001 – 2002 at the company GeoVille in Innsbruck (Austria) as G
 IS expert. In 2007 she finished her PhD on “Virtual landscapes for publi
 c participation” at the ETH Zurich. In 2008 Dr. Ulrike Wissen Hayek beca
 me Research Fellow and Lecturer\, and since 2012 she is Senior Research Fe
 llow and Lecturer at the Chair Planning of Landscape and Urban Systems (PL
 US/ETHZ) of Prof. Adrienne Grêt-Regamey. Her key research focuses on the 
 assessment and management of landscape change\, GIS-based 3D landscape vis
 ualization\, participative planning methods and transdisciplinary action r
 esearch. She manages several projects on developing\, applying and iterati
 vely enhancing 3D visualizations for supporting stakeholders on spatial pl
 anning tasks. Furthermore\, she was project manager of the NRP 54 project 
 “Scenarios for sustainable settlement and infrastructure development in 
 Switzerland (2005 – 2030)”. In the scope of the NRP 65 “New Urban Qu
 ality” she manages the project “SUPat – Sustainable Urban Patterns
 ” focusing on the development of instruments and processes for a collabo
 rative urban platform.
