Whilst recognising that distinctly different traditions exist
within the study and practice of urban design, this book advances
an interdisciplinary and innovative approach, which is of direct
importance to understanding the urban forms, conditions, practices
and processes. It enthuses and inspires users who are grappling
with urban design research problems, but who need inspiration to
move from idea to methodological approach. Through the work of 32
urban researchers from the arts, sciences and social sciences, it
demonstrates a wide range of problems and approaches and shows how
the diverse range of complementary approaches can come together to
provide a holistic understanding to the design of cities. While
each of the contributors presents a particular approach to
researching the field, sometimes focusing centrally on particular
research methodologies, others cutting across methods, or focusing
on theory, all include discussion of actual research projects to
illustrate their application to 'real world' problems. This book
will be valuable to everyone from the informed undergraduate
student about to embark on their first dissertation, to PhD
students and seasoned researchers immersed in methodological and
conceptual complexity and wishing to compare available and
appropriate methodological paths.
