For the Love of People
Move over, density: equity and livability are the new urban design drivers The case for prioritizing people when designing cities.
By Ivy Cao, Urban Designer, San Francisco
It used to be that density was the key to urban design because local resources and transit can serve a condensed, highly populated community more sustainably than a sparsely populated, sprawling one. But we now know that equity and
We’re living in an era of constant change to our physical environment. Seemingly every day, shiny new office complexes, residential towers, shopping centers, and other commercial developments rise from our city streets. Out with the old, in with the new. But who is it changing for? This is the question we should all be asking.
livability are equally as important, if not more. Healthy, thriving cities aren’t just dense metropolises; they’re vibrant ecosystems that welcome, support, and serve everyone. And the way they’re designed—from the length of their blocks and the width of their sidewalks to their proximity to transit, healthcare, education, food, and open space—is critical to their success. But the common metrics many urban designers rely on don’t even begin to address the reality of a neighborhood and the people who call it home. While density is still a key factor—it tells us where to build a project and for what purpose—equity and livability need to take priority. In 2019, I set out to conduct a little experiment. I teamed up with a fellow urban designer to review the typical process for evaluating neighborhood-scale projects. We found that project teams seek answers to important questions about design, but they don’t necessarily ask questions like, “Who lives here?” or “What’s life like for the people who live here?” From a historical point of view, this kind of limited datagathering has contributed to discriminatory practices that still exist today, like redlining. That alone is a compelling enough reason to change the urban planning process, if you ask me. Here’s another reason: Urban designers are often

Not all EPDs look the same, and their data is often available only as printable PDF files, making product comparisons difficult. With EC3, a centralized digital repository of EPDs makes apples-to-apples comparisons easy. And building teams can make smarter choices that reduce embodied carbon.

as accessible for use in current design software. By integrating the two tools, designers can track carbon as the BIM model is being built. This enables architects to leverage lifecycle assessment data early in the design phase to ensure lower-carbon buildings. Ultimately, tallyCAT will promote better transparency, clean industry, and innovation.
The Simulation Platform for Energy-Efficient Design is a web- and cloud-based energy modeling tool developed in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy. SPEED helps design teams evaluate the daylight, energy, and operational carbon performance of thousands of models and prioritize higher-performing solutions.
SPEED quickly runs thousands of energy, daylighting, and solar analyses in under 24 hours. The advanced software simultaneously evaluates multiple building forms, HVAC strategies, and construction types based on energy use, daylight, views, first cost, utility cost, lifecycle cost, and carbon dioxide emission analyses.
Design teams make some of the biggest decisions about building program, massing, and orientation very early in the design process. Yet they are limited to ad hoc processes and tools that don’t clearly define performance metrics, alternative spaces, and decision rationales. By generating a larger set of models and assessing their performance outcomes early in the design process, SPEED helps teams make informed decisions easily and effectively—ultimately mitigating risk and saving money.
