Reviews
The book looks at different theories of urban design, the context within which design takes place and dimensions of urban design.
- April
2003, Inside Housing
A self-described 'exposition of the different, but intimately related, dimensions of urban design', this book takes
a holistic approach in order to be both an overview and general guide. ...The book is well organised; its uncomplicated style makes for
rapid reading and easy comprehension. ...a thorough and workman-like reference for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of urban design.
- May 2003, The Architects' Journal
'This will become the standard textbook on its subject, and deservedly so.'
Robert Cowan, Director,
Urban Design Group, UK
'...the result is practical, helpful, packed with useful information and easy to understand...this is the book
I wish I had written!'
Sebastian Loew, Urban Design
