Recommendations (3)

R66 Process & Organization Dissemination & Knowledge Mobilization Priority: High

Extend the chromatic-planning methodology from the three Lisbon case-study quarters to the remaining neighbourhoods of Lisbon and to other existing or new urban developments.

Scope:: Macro
Time Horizon:: Long
Evidence Strength:: Indicative
Feasibility:: High

R67 Artifact, System & Service Design Process & Organization Priority: High

Develop applications of the chromatic-planning methodology for smaller exterior environments such as forest parks, theme parks, zoos, and sports complexes.

Scope:: Macro
Time Horizon:: Medium → Long
Evidence Strength:: Indicative
Feasibility:: Medium

R68 Artifact, System & Service Design Participation, Equity & Ethics Priority: High

Apply the methodology in large interior environments that require specific orientation systems, such as hospitals, congress centres, airports, transport hubs, educational institutions, and large commercial areas.

Scope:: Macro
Time Horizon:: Long
Evidence Strength:: Indicative
Feasibility:: Medium
