Urban design is one of the key instruments of physical
transformation employed to enhance urban quality and achieve
sustainable urban environments. Confined by environmental, economic
and social realities, urban design is largely influenced by the
principal power brokers, including developers and public
authorities. The lack of direct end- users participation in the
preparation of design solutions is one of the major shortcomings of
contemporary urban design. Solving this problem is an important
challenge to the contemporary urban design practice. This book
develops an approach that identifies subjective views of end-users
in any urban locality as to what constitutes, for them,
attractiveness of the urban environment, and further determines how
this information could be integrated into the urban design process.
The concept of attractiveness of the urban environment, introduced
to this study is based on the subjective views of end-users. This
innovative concept of urban design will be more user friendly,
reflect local values, cultures and conditions and also contribute
to the creation of a more diversified sustainable urban
environment.
