Abstract
Space syntax methodologies provide tools to measure spatial changes, urban growth, and land use patterns. Recent developments include integrated urban and multi-layered network models that analyse urban form by incorporating data on networks, land use, and density, aiming for a comprehensive evaluation of planning impacts. Despite their value in assessing current and future scenarios, their use in historical contexts remains unexplored. This paper investigates the application of multi-layered network models to study cities' spatial growth in relation to waterways, focusing on Amsterdam's urban fabric shaped by its waterway networks. It examines how inner-urban waterways have influenced Amsterdam's development from the medieval era to the present, using multi-layered network modelling to integrate different network types. By analysing street, waterway, and combined networks across various periods, the study reveals Amsterdam's unique spatial growth patterns and the interplay between street and waterway networks as distinct movement modes. The findings suggest an evidence-based framework for urban history and planning, potentially applicable to Dutch cities and others with waterways, aiding urban planning and decision-making globally.
