Rapid regeneration of city areas has placed the quality of urban
design high on public and policy agendas worldwide. This work
examines the achievement of quality in the urban environment, in a
planning context. Tracing urban design from its roots, the authors
draw on both historical and current practices to examine the key
physical, political and economic forces at play and the social
pressures and impacts brought about by both failures and
achievements in urban design. This illustrated critique of towns
and cities draws on examples from across Western Europe, South
Africa and USA to examine both public and private sector
development practices, controls and fiscal policies within a
diverse range of localities. The authors indicate the need for a
reinstitution of region-provincial approaches, for closer
co-ordination bewteen sectors, and revised fiscal policies in
planning and development in order to enhance the quality of urban
social experience and environments.
