Abstract

Many urban mixed developments are highly dependent on fossil fuel transportation mode as they fail to connect efficiently with the essential urban fabrics and features. While the use of automated vehicular is necessary, it nevertheless causes environmental and social discomfort to both the residents and the public. Safarin Savikon proposes the idea of deconstructing urban connectivity to reduce both the environmental and social problem. He restructures the mixed development coherently to the city by connecting different spatial programmes with the integration of urban streets, parks and districts in the building form. His strategy can be considered as an effective urban design intervention tool to enhance the urban environmental and social experiences.
