There is an emerging consensus that urban street layouts should be
planned with greater attention to 'placemaking' and urban design
quality, while maintaining the conventional transport functions of
accessibility and connectivity. However, it is not always clear how
this might be achieved: we still tend to have different sets of
guidance for main road networks and for local streetgrids. What is
needed is a framework that addresses both of these, plus main
streets - that don't easily fit either set of guidance - in an
integrative manner. Streets and Patterns takes up this challenge to
create a coherent rationale to underpin today's streets-oriented
urban design agenda. Informed by recent research, the book looks
behind existing design conventions and beyond immediate policy
rhetoric, and analyses a range of first principles - from Le
Corbusier and Colin Buchanan to New Urbanism. The book provides a
new framework for the design and planning of urban layouts,
integrating transport issues such as road hierarchy, arterial
streets and multi-modal networks with urban design and planning
issues such as street type, grid type, mixed-use blocks and urban
design coding.
