Applied Urban DesignA Contextually Responsive Approach
By Philip Black, Michael Martin, Robert Phillips, Taki Sonbli
Applied Urban Design focuses on understanding the 'why,' 'who,' and 'how' of urban design.
It provides a clear, tailored framework for both understanding and practicing urban design in a context-sensitive way.
The framework is divided into four steps:
- Analysis at strategic and local scales.
- Urban design program development.
- Design development.
- Technical design.
It explores key aspects of urban design, including:
- Functional blueprints
- Liveable qualities
- Contextual dynamics
- Technical components
It emphasizes the role of urban designers in shaping spaces across different local contexts.
International examples include Aalborg, Denmark, and Manchester, UK, demonstrating how the framework works in different contexts.
Visual aids are covered showcasing various urban design visualization techniques.
