Urban Planning Thesis/ Research Topic Suggestions (Part 1)

Introduction.

In the field of Planning, each student is required to undertake a research project (thesis) as per his/ her interest subjects relevant to the field in the final semester. It basically gives an opportunity to the students to put their learning of previous semesters together. It also gives an opportunity to synthesize the knowledge and skills acquired by applying it for strategy formulation for a live planning challenge.

Urban Planning

Cities and tourist movement have both historical and dynamic relationship. Urban places often act as major attractions and serve as gateways to or staging areas for tourism. Tourism is at the heart of many cities’ development projects. Tourism is a major driving force in the development and stimulator of a new urbanity in metropolises and cities.

Urban Finance

Environment planning.

Environmental issues arise and exist in almost all sectors where development is involved. Environmental Planning helps in making decisions about the natural environment, public health and the built environment.

Informal Sector

Slum/ informal settlements.

Existence of informal settlements in the urban areas is a challenging issue in urban planning. It is short-sighted and unsustainable to ignore the challenge of slums considering the large scale of slums and the number of people they house.

Housing and Real Estate

Inclusive planning, transport planning.

Transport Planning is required for the operation, provision and management of facilities and services for the modes of transport. It is the process of preparing policies, goals and spatial planning designs to prepare for the future needs.

Location selection methods for urban terminal co-distribution centers with air–land collaboration.

urban planning thesis example

1. Introduction

2. state of the art, 3. modeling, 3.1. problem description, 3.2. assumptions.

  • The information of all customer demand points is known.
  • After the number and location of the co-distribution centers are determined, the UAV distribution flight routes and vehicle travel routes are fixed. All routes start from a co-distribution center and return to the center after completing the customer distribution service.
  • The distribution capacity of the two types of co-distribution centers is fixed.
  • The cost of UAVs is mainly considered in the flight process, not in the hovering state.
  • Sufficient energy (fuel) is maintained during the transportation of both UAVs and vehicles, without considering the time required for UAVs to take off, land, recharge and change the power source, and load and unload cargo.
  • UAVs and vehicles fly and travel at a uniform speed.

3.3. Notation

3.4. model construction, 4. algorithm design, 4.1. construction of a co-distribution center preselection set based on k-means clustering, 4.2. co-distribution center site selection method based on gwo, 4.2.1. algorithm flow, 4.2.2. processing of site selection data, 4.2.3. initialization strategies for wolf packs, 4.2.4. design of the fitness function, 4.2.5. no-fly-zone handling, 5. analysis, 5.1. preselected set construction, 5.2. model parameters, 5.3. solution results of gwo, 5.4. comparison of algorithm performance, 5.5. operational effectiveness of the air–ground cooperative co-distribution network, 6. conclusions, author contributions, data availability statement, conflicts of interest.

2. Randomly initialize the position of each gray wolf , where each position represents a potential site solution.
3. Initialize , , and as the best three solutions in the population.
4. Set the maximum number of iterations as MaxIteration and the current iteration as iter = 0.
Iteration starts:
While iter < MaxIteration do
 for each wolf i in Pack do and . , , and , , and according to , , and , , and as , , and , where  
  9. Check for new , , and
  10. Update the coefficients a, A, and C, which control the search behavior of the wolves, decreasing as the iteration proceeds
  11. iter = iter + 1
end while
Output:
Location of as the best siting option.
