Introduction to Residential Layout is ideal for students and
practitioners of urban design, planning, engineering, architecture
and landscape seeking a comprehensive guide to the theory and
practice of designing and laying out residential areas. Mike
Biddulph provides a clear and coherent framework from which he
offers comprehensive practical advice for designers of housing
developments. Referring to a wealth of international examples, this
is a richly illustrated, accessible resource covering the whole

sustainability and designing accessibility. Mike Biddulph details
successful approaches to designing out crime and maximising

design aspirations and principles into practical design solutions.

solutions to encourage both depth of thought and creativity. Mike
