Urban Connections in the Contemporary Pedestrian Landscape explores
the significant physical and cultural changes in our urban areas
following the implementation of design strategies and increased
pedestrian activity. Beginning with a history of the urban grid,
the book then discusses experiential factors of pedestrianized
urban landscapes in three scales, arterials, collectors and locals,
with an emphasis on inductive and deductive design alternatives. It
closely examines elements derived from current urban pedestrian
experiences including form, scale, surfaces and identity and
provides alternative design solutions for the future. Uniquely
focusing on a hierarchical discussion of the quality of
contemporary landscape design applications within the urban grid,
and with illustrated examples throughout the text, this will be
useful recommended reading for academics, researchers and
postgraduate students on urban landscape and design courses.
