Description
Applied Urban Design provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and practicing urban design in a contextually responsive manner. By combining 'why', 'who', and 'how' we design, this book offers a bespoke approach to urban design, covering analysis, the urban design program, design development, and technical design. The authors unpack the key elements of quality urban design, including functional blueprints, liveable qualities, contextual dynamics, and technical components. International best practice examples and original case studies demonstrate the application of the framework across different scales and contexts. With its visually compelling content, this book is ideal for anyone seeking to create people-centred, high-quality places and spaces. The authors' own images and graphics illustrate a range of urban design visualisation techniques and methods, making this book a valuable resource for those looking to understand, demand, and create contextually responsive urban environments.
