Abstract
It is necessary to consider urban renewal projects, in terms of dynamic evolution of urban circulation network in the information era, based on rethinking the Ekistics that Constantinos A. Doxiadis developed for the human settlement with scientific approach to consolidate the urban spatial structure. It is therefore absolutely necessary to make the city revitalize for human with suitable dimensions of the social context that has established the community in harmony with the urban evolution imposed on the innovative built-environment since reserving great potentials ahead. The research issues of circulation system in urban settings can be defined into typical categories; urban core territory, peripheral boundary, regional circulation, metropolitan scale and so on. The literature review of Doxiadis' urban theory and other scientific approach relating to analysis of the urban circulation between central districts and satellite towns is intended to provide common interactions between historical research and contemporary one to figure out the urban movement system networked by human circulation, mass transportation, and other connectivity by information technology such as wired and wireless communication that can create a new way of the smart urban circulation. With smart technologies responding to the ICT, there might be great demands of 'pedestrian oriented environment' which provides everyday activities with interactive services and programs to visitors as well as residents in most of cities and therefore the approach is to proposed theoretically a prototype of the regional upgrade plan for smart circulation in the metropolitan scale.
