Reasons for being an Expo sponsor
UCL Space Syntax is committed to the pursuit of sustainable placemaking. As such, its objectives align exactly with those of the London Development Agency (LDA).
The Spatial Accessibility Model of London, shown in the London Exhibition, is a sophisticated scientific tool that allows the creative ideas of planners and architects to be tested in an objective way.
The model forecasts the impact of new development on the patterns of movement and interchange that create London's urban buzz.
Through this marriage of art and science, the LDA and UCL Space Syntax are working together to plan and design the future of the capital city.
