About This Course

This course focuses on evaluating public space performance through the innovative metric of the Entry-Exit Correlation (EEC) coefficient. The EEC measures the relationship between pedestrian traffic volume and the intensity of social activities, providing urban designers and planners with data-driven insights into how public spaces are utilized. Using the case study of Dilworth Park in Philadelphia, learners will analyze how entry and exit flow patterns correlate with social engagement, aiding in the optimization of public areas for community interaction, accessibility, and inclusivity. Ideal for urban designers, architects, and public policymakers, this course equips professionals with a valuable tool for assessing and enhancing public space functionality.

Key Areas Covered:

  • Introduction to Entry-Exit Correlation (EEC): Understanding EEC as a new metric in public space evaluation.
  • Pedestrian Flow Analysis: Techniques to assess entry and exit patterns and their influence on social activity levels.
  • Correlation with Social Activity Intensity: Identifying how pedestrian flow impacts social interactions and space utilization.
  • Case Study - Dilworth Park: In-depth analysis of how EEC has been applied in a real-world setting.
  • Design Implications of EEC Findings: Using EEC insights to enhance public space design and accessibility.
