This book deals with a wide range of techniques used in the urban design process. It is invaluable for architecture, planning, landscape and surveying students and will also help professionals in the day to day practice. A method of urban design is developed which has sustainability and environmental protection at the centre of its philosophy. Previously, literature regarding the urban design method has been almost totally neglected; this book introduces the topic to the reader. A number of techniques are illustrated by example or case study. Where techniques are discussed they are located wit.

  • "Degraded lifestyle. Any discussion of urban design which does not address environmental issues has little meaning at a time of declining natural resources, ozone layer destruction and fears of the greenhouse effect. The book therefore discusses built form, street block, quarter and city structure in terms of energy conservation and sustainability."
  • "In "Green Dimensions", Cliff Moughtin relates sustainable development and green design to the realm of urban design and development. Examining regional and local frameworks for design and planning, this book shows how sustainable urban design can be implemented on every scale. Working from a strong theoretical base, the author uses case studies and discusses policy developments, in order to challenge the conventional wisdom on sustainable design. The book provides a rounded discussion of the application and suitability of current practice, and predicts future design needs. Updating the reader on topics such as energy efficiency, sustainable city forms and the culture of new urbanism, this completely revised and restructured second edition also includes brand new chapters on the Urban Park and Bio-diversity."

  • "This book, part of a series of four, offers a detailed analysis of urban design, covering the streets, squares and buildings that make up the public face of towns and cities. It outlines the theory of the principal features of urban design from which method is developed and provides a better understanding of the main elements of urban design. This includes the arrangement, design and details of the streets and squares, and the roles they play in city planning. This third edition includes chapters on "Sustainable Urban Design" and "Visual Analysis", introducing the latest theories and influences in the field and bringing greater practical significance to the book. Cliff Moughtin explores the street and square in terms of function, structure and symbolism and examines fine examples in their historical context. These are set against the background of the laws of urban design composition, culled from Renaissance and modern writers. This title helps you to gain an understanding of the detail of urban design from towns and buildings to squares and streets. You can learn from examples in their historical context and see the evolution of urban design.; New case studies help relate theory to practice."
  • "The subject matter of this book is the pattern or structure of the city: it concentrates particularly upon the organization of the public realm. The book aims to relate the main components of urban design to a general theory or urban structuring with a strong design emphasis but within the general field of sustainable city development. There is some doubt about the long term survival of the planet as a vehicle for sustained human occupation in anything other than a."
