Dr Stephen Marshall
The Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA) is one of the leading forces in the science of cities, generating new knowledge and insights for use in city planning, policy and design and drawing on the latest geospatial methods and ideas in computer-based visualisation and modelling. We are part of The Bartlett: UCL's global faculty of the built environment.
Profile
Biography
Stephen Marshall is Reader
in Urban Morphology and Planning at the Bartlett School of Planning, University
College London. Dr Marshall has over twenty years’ experience in the built
environment fields, initially in consultancy and subsequently in academia. His
principal research interests are in urban morphology and street layout, and
their relationships with urban formative processes, including urban design,
coding and planning. He has written or edited several books, including Streets and Patterns (2005), Land Use and Transport (with David
Banister), Cities, Design and Evolution
(2009) and Urban Coding and Planning
(2011). He was Chair of the Editorial Board of Urban Design and Planning (Proceedings
of the Institution of Civil Engineers journal series) from its launch to
2012; and is now co-editor of Built
Environment journal.
Research Summary
My research interests address interactions between the following areas:
- Urban design theory;
- Urban morphology;
- Street layout and transport network structure;
- Design and planning codes and rules relating to these;
- Urban 'morphogenetics' and evolution.
My most recent ongoing research relates to different aspects of urban morphology and urban design and planning:
- My paper 'Science, pseudo-science and urban design' was published in Urban Design International in 2012.
- I guest edited an issue of Built Environment journal (with Olgu Caliskan) on the theme of Urban Morphology and Design (2011).
- My most recent (edited) book Urban Coding and Planning was publsihed in 2011.
I have presented recently on mathematical aspects of urban morphology - at the MeasUrb workshop in Lisbon, at the AESOP conference in Ankara (both 2012) and at CASA (2013).
