<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Cities across the planet are growing at an unprecedented speed. To accommodate the rising number of residents, city governments need to densify and expand while managing their carbon emissions.
At the same time, cities have to ensure that the quality of their built environment is not sacrificed at the expense of density. The overall goal is thus to design sustainable, high density neighborhoods that combine building resource–efficiency with quality
indoor and outdoor spaces, which in turn support community building and favor human powered modes of transportation. To help city governments and their consultants to develop such neighborhoods, the
<span style="color:#ED7D31"><a href="http://mit.edu/sustainabledesignlab/"><span style="color:#ED7D31;text-decoration:none">Sustainable Design Lab</span></a></span> at MIT has developed a Rhino-based urban modeling platform called

and architects. Participants will acquire a range of urban analysis techniques and be exposed to results from several umi case studies world-wide. Specific simulation outputs that will be discussed are:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
