Hi all,

We are two students studying City & Regional Planning at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. As part of a semester-long urban design studio in NYC, we had the opportunity to engage with Tygron's tool for scenario planning. We explored various uses for the software on the topic of affordable housing and livability, looking at Tygron's potential for sparking key conversations in decision-making negotiations.

We then chose to see how we could use the software in a different way: moving away from its traditional purpose (which is to explore trade-off relationships, inform decision-making negotiations, and spark conversations over ownership and zoning, amongst other possibilities), we chose ‘simplify’ its use by exploiting its real-time modelling abilities on a specific topic: the impact of transferring development rights on the urban fabric.

In the following posts and over the next couple of days, we will showcase and summarize our study, and detail our use of the Tygron software.
