This book deals with a wide range of techniques used in the urban
design process. It then goes on to relate these techniques to a
unique, comprehensive account of method. A method of urban design
is developed which has sustainability and environmental protection
at the centre of its philosophy. Previously, literature regarding
the urban design method has been almost totally neglected; this
book introduces the topic to the reader. This revised Second
Edition encompasses the latest techniques including the development
of geographic information systems and financial techniques which
help evaluate projects. A number of techniques are illustrated by
example or case study. Where techniques are discussed they are
located within the structure of the design process. The book
develops a logical framework for a process, which includes problem
definition, survey, analysis, concept generation, evaluation and
implementation. It is this framework which leads toward the
development of an urban design method. This book is a practical
guide for students or professionals in the early part of their
careers. It is organized so that each chapter provides guidance
which readers would have otherwise had to discover for themselves,
often with some difficulty.
