Overview: The Interconnected places course is designed to build understanding of the network systems which underpin our cities. The course uses a set of theories and techniques known as ‘space syntax’ to explain how street networks shape human movement and interaction. We explore how urban street networks work at multiple scales to influence many different urban phenomena from mobility to social vitality, and from economic productivity to environmental sustainability. We also consider the ‘latent’, or ‘hidden potentials’ associated with the built environment and explore how ‘space syntax’ can be applied to reveal these potentials. Finally, we demonstrate how ‘space syntax’ can be harnessed by designers, architects, planners and city leaders to create cities that are thriving, healthy and green places to live and work. 

Target age: 16 or above 

Quote: "I really enjoyed this course. Personally, I appreciate the easy way in which concepts such as spatial integration, pervasive centrality, among others are introduced. I also liked that aspects related to historical background and urban planning were covered. It is quite impressive that all the content was condensed in 4 short time modules, while taking care that the explanations are clear. Finally, I really liked the use of first-person videos, presenting the routes and urban landscapes."  Anonymous, Spatial Data Analyst.
