Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Emergent megacities evaluates contextual patterns of expansion within the metropolitan assembly of Accra, Ghana and proposes design schemes that will accommodate future growth while maintaining elements of cultural reference. A critical investigation of the present conditions within urban settlements located in Greater Accra informed proposed development strategies for future proliferation. Patterns of micro-level subdivision and macro-level sprawl were actuated to implement a design approach, and a parametric coding model was constructed to monitor quantitative impacts of development over time.
