Approaching urban design

Approaching Urban Design - The Design Process provides a primer that will enable the application of sensitive design principles to urban form. The wider conceptual basis of urban design was discussed in the preceeding companion volume 'Introducing Urban Design- Interventions and Responses', in which key principles, considerations and concepts were introduced. This new volume seeks to show how these might be applied and implemented within a range of real world settings. Written by a team of eminent urban designers, architects and planners under the joint editorship of Marion Roberts & Clara Greed, the book introduces the reader to the subject through a discussion of current issues, approaches and real-world examples. Approaching Urban Design- The Design Process is an ideal resource for undergraduate courses in town planning, architecture, landscape architecture, estate management and housing studies. It is also suitable as an introductory text for first year diploma and masters programmes in urban design and suitable for RIBA, RTPI, RICS, CIOH, CIOB, ASI, and ISVA courses and will be of interest to professional practioners in the urban design field.
