Applied Spatial Accessibility Analysis for Urban Design - An integrated graph-gravity model implemented in Grasshopper

This paper introduces a prototype for a user-friendly, responsive toolbox for spatial accessibility analysis in data-poor environments to support urban design processes. It allows for real-time computation of several evaluation indicators, mostly focused on accessibility related measures. The proposed framework is exemplified with three real-world case studies. Each of them demonstrates one part of the workflow; data gathering and preparation, sketching and developing scenarios, and impact analysis and scenario comparison.
