Meeting the needs of increasing environmental and systematic pressures in urban settlements requires the use of integrated and holistic approaches. Urban Systems Design Framework joins the metric-based modeling of rationalized methods with human driven goals to form a combined design and analysis loop. Processing information from the fundamental element of cities, humans, to large scale modeling and decisions occurring in district and ward level planning. Our study examines the applicability of this method as it pertains to a model and design integrated approach. North Sumida Ward, located in Tokyo, exemplifies the contextualized needs of Tokyo, and Japan, while forming a coherent internal community. Focusing on methodology our process explores the creation of typologies, metric- based analysis, and design-based approaches integrated into modeling.
