Synopsis

This second volume in the Future Cities Laboratory Indicia series focuses on the tools, methods, andapproaches needed for urban research. In short, following Marshall McLuhan s famous provocation, theeditors focus less on the message and more on the medium of research. This involves retreating from researchcontents the topics, themes, questions, hypotheses, insights, ideas, concepts, and thoughts for themoment to consider the materials, methods, tools, techniques, and approaches that support them.This change in perspective reveals a rich array of research approaches that include: the visual documentationof complex stakeholder interests, political and economic circumstances in built form and design vision; two-and three-dimensional mapping of vegetation, temperature and humidity, in conjunction with point cloudterrestrial and airborne laser-scanning technology; gathering data from sensors and geospatial data;emergence of solution spaces and multi-dimensional complexity science; subject oriented approaches tobehavioural and cognitive decision making in city navigation; and approaches to emergent phenomena suchas extended urbanisation that are not always visible to existing analytical or documentary lenses.
