Description
Public Places - Urban Spaces is a holistic guide to the many complex and interacting dimensions of urban design.
The discussion moves
systematically through ideas, theories, research and the practice of urban design from an unrivalled range of sources. It aids the reader
by gradually building the concepts one upon the other towards a total view of the subject.
The author team explain the catalysts of
change and renewal, and explore the global and local contexts and processes within which urban design operates. The book presents six
key dimensions of urban design theory and practice - the social, visual, functional, temporal, morphological and perceptual - allowing
it to be dipped into for specific information, or read from cover to cover. This is a clear and accessible text that provides a comprehensive
discussion of this complex subject.
Audience
Academics in urban design, town and country planning, architecture, surveying, urban studies and urban regeneration, and their students.
Practising urban designers, architects, surveyors and civil engineers.
