J. C. Moughtin, Emeritus Professor of Planning, University of Nottingham, UK
Description
This book, part of a series of four, offers a detailed analysis of urban design, covering the streets, squares and buildings that make
up the public face of towns and cities. It outlines the theory of the principal features of urban design from which method is developed
and provides a better understanding of the main elements of urban design. This includes the arrangement, design and details of the streets
and squares, and the roles they play in city planning.
This third edition includes chapters on "Sustainable Urban Design" and "Visual
Analysis", introducing the latest theories and influences in the field and bringing greater practical significance to the book. Cliff
Moughtin explores the street and square in terms of function, structure and symbolism and examines fine examples in their historical
context. These are set against the background of the laws of urban design composition, culled from Renaissance and modern writers.
