Currently, great efforts are taken to develop new strategies and guidelines for transforming agglomerations into urban patterns of high quality. These new approaches need to facilitate collaborations between science and a variety of public and private stakeholders to come up with robust solutions. They should enable them to make decisions on urban development taking into account multiple dimensions, alternative development possibilities, and performance indicators at multiple planning scales. A major challenge is to consolidate the information suitable 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, which is set up in the scope of the NRP 65 project “Sustainable Urban Patterns”. Focus is laid on an approach that allows for cross-scale analysis of urban development scenarios addressing economic, social and environmental aspects of urban quality. Practical interfaces for implementing an integrated behavioural and transport modelling system in transdisciplinary planning 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 sustainability learning and capacity building among stakeholders, planning experts and scientists.
Bio: After an apprenticeship as landscaper Dr. Ulrike Wissen Hayek studied and made her diploma in landscape architecture and planning at the Technical University of Munich (Germany) in 2000. Then she worked from 2001 – 2002 at the company GeoVille in Innsbruck (Austria) as GIS expert. In 2007 she finished her PhD on “Virtual landscapes for public participation” at the ETH Zurich. In 2008 Dr. Ulrike Wissen Hayek became Research Fellow and Lecturer, and since 2012 she is Senior Research Fellow and Lecturer at the Chair Planning of Landscape and Urban Systems (PLUS/ETHZ) of Prof. Adrienne Grêt-Regamey. Her key research focuses on the assessment and management of landscape change, GIS-based 3D landscape visualization, participative planning methods and transdisciplinary action research. She manages several projects on developing, applying and iteratively enhancing 3D visualizations for supporting stakeholders on spatial planning 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 Quality” she manages the project “SUPat – Sustainable Urban Patterns” focusing on the development of instruments and processes for a collaborative urban platform.
