Case studies
Luján de Cuyo, Argentina
One bridge, fifteen minutes wider
+190% parcels reachable in 15 min north of Perdriel (876 → 2,542)
The bridge alone underdelivers — redrawing the routes around it is what triples reach.
West Oakland, USA
Why upzoning alone won't fill the lots
10 yr simulated horizon
Over a simulated decade, upzoning lifted prices but not construction — barriers, access gaps and crime kept developers away.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Finding the right four streets, 48 times over
~1,000,000 indicator values scored (30,000 segments × 25+ indicators)
Hard constraints no planner can eyeball — flood, noise, safety, tree cover — kept promoting unremarkable streets over the 'obvious' ones.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Putting public housing where transit already reaches
240 km² study area scored lot by lot
'Near transit' is not the same as accessible — station radius misses well-placed lots and passes lots that fail on real travel time.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
When more subsidy wouldn't have worked
50 ha district simulated
Feasibility stayed low even at generous loan levels — the binding constraint was physical barriers, not financing.
