Urban planning and design, highlighting the need for more flexible and adaptable design approaches
Research gap analysis derived from 3 engineering papers in our local library.
The gap
The paper identifies a gap in the existing literature on urban planning and design, highlighting the need for more flexible and adaptable design approaches. The authors note that the existing literature on urban planning and design often focuses on the design of individual buildings or spaces, rather than the design of entire systems or cities.
Evidence profile
Sourced from the stated research gap of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 1967 and 2026, spanning 3 journals. Those papers have been cited 2 times in total.

- Algorithmic Landscapes and the Logic of the Collection (2026) · Urban Science · doi
The paper identifies a gap in understanding the logic through which architectural and urban systems are developed. The study highlights the lack of research on the criteria that shape the selection of new elements in collections and spatial systems. The paper notes that prior research has focused on the generation of form, rather than the interpretation, evaluation, and selection of multiple outcomes produced within computationally open-ended systems.
