What is Urban Design?

  • Urban Design is the art of making quality places for people. It involves the way that places function, how safe and attractive they are, and especially how they look and are interpreted.
  • Urban Design ...'concerns the connections between people and places, movement and urban form, nature and the built fabric, and the processes for ensuring successful villages, towns and cities' CABE (2000 By Design p8).
