[edit] PUBLIC PLACES - URBAN SPACES

A guide to the many complex and interacting dimensions of urban design. It discusses systematically through ideas, theories, research and the practice of urban design from a range of sources. It presents six key dimensions of urban design theory and practice - the social, visual, functional, temporal, morphological and perceptual.

A comprehensive introductory guide to urban design, taking you systematically and logically through the many interacting theoretical, policy and practice-based dimensions of the subject. It takes a holistic approach to the subject, neither focusing on a limited checklist of urban design qualities, nor excluding any important area of urban design theory. In this way a comprehensive overview of the subject is given for those new to the subject, or for those requiring a general guide to urban design. Its user-friendly structure, with self-contained, yet well cross referenced sections/chapters, has been adopted to enable you to dip in for specific information. Readers wishing to read the book cover to cover will be aided by the gradual building of concepts one upon the other towards a total conceptualization of the subject. The book/page format aims to facilitate the dual role of drawing board companion and introductory subject overview.
