Master thesis in parametric urbanism

Hey guys,

I'm considering making my master thesis to be about parametric urbanism and urban optimisation. Kind of like in this video. Concentrating on a certain municipality or two, analysing them and then optimising as much aspects as I can, creating a kind of utopistic and perfect state of them to show off the capabilities of these technologies.

What would be the grasshopper workflow for it?

In my opinion it would be optimisation (galapagos, silvereye, octopus, etc.) and Ladybug heavy, but can't think of a way right now how to get the building masses deform according to some real world environmental (sun, wind, noise, etc.) & urban regulation (street/building/neighborhood etc.) parameters which are valid for a target country's laws.

What are your opinions? Which path/workflow should I follow in this?
