Description
Essential reading for students and practitioners of urban design, this collection of essays introduces the 6 dimensions of urban design
through a range of the most important classic and contemporary key texts.
Urban design as a form of place making has become an increasingly
significant area of academic endeavour, of public policy and professional practice. Compiled by the authors of the best selling Public
Places Urban Spaces, this indispensable guide includes all the crucial definitions and various understandings of the subject, as well
as a practical look at how to implement urban design that readers will need to refer to time and time again.
Uniquely, the selections
of essays that include the works of Gehl, Jacobs, and Cullen, are presented substantially in their original form, and the truly accessible
dip-in-and-out format will enable readers to form a deeper, practical understanding of urban design.
Audience
Students and academics of Urban Design and Planning.
