Urban Design and People

This introduction to the field of urban design offers a comprehensive survey of the processes necessary to implement urban design work, explaining the vocabulary, the rules, the tools, the structures, and the resources in clear and accessible style.

The text is illustrated throughout with photographs and drawings that make theory and practice relevant and alive. more
