URBAN DESIGN

back to top

INTRODUCTION

This unit covers the theory, principles and process of urban design as well as an overview of the tools and techniques within a setting of best practice.

This course has been designed for urban planners but relates to all who participate in the creation and management of the urban built environment. This includes a broad range of people, professions, institutions and interest and industry groups.

For those who are at the forefront of urban development, management and design it will be a refresher of fundamentals. To those on the periphery, this course will assist in understanding principles, concepts and qualities of good urban design, which we often respond to but find it less easy to articulate and identify. These are the qualities we often take for granted until they slowly disappear.
