A different approach to segregation issues in urban design
Authors:

Abstract
In many urban areas there is an observable segregation of public space, in addition to the fact that many housing districts are spatially isolated from the city as a whole. The emergence of enclaves of poverty and wealth, the decay of housing development and the encroachment of cars into public spaces, the privatisation of public spaces (so called gated communities), limited revitalisation and gentrification—lead to spatial chaos and growing conflicts. As traditional methods of urban analysis provide poor guidelines in this context, an attempt to investigate this problem and present a different approach to segregation in urban design was made. Space Syntax is a human-focused, academic imaging of the relationship between the spatial layout and a range of social, economic and environmental phenomena – leading to better understanding the social logic of spatial structures. It also makes it possible to read and analyze the accessibility and flow of people in the urban structure. Space-Syntax-based urban analysis enables demonstrating significant structural differences between districts and to determine the impact of urban forms on the spatial advantages of different areas of the city. It provides new opportunities to address segregation in urban design and formulate more effective anti-segregation interventions.
