Urban Design: Shaping Cities and Spaces

Urban design is the process of designing and shaping the arrangement, appearance, and function of cities, towns and villages. It involves coordinating all aspects that make up the built environment, including buildings, public spaces, transportation systems, services, and amenities. The goal is to create localities that are functional, attractive and sustainable for people to live and interact with each other and their surroundings. Urban design operates at a larger scale than architecture and a shorter time frame than urban planning.

 URBAN DESIGN :

• Urban design is the process of designing and shaping cities, towns and
villages.
• In contrast to architecture, which focuses on the design of individual buildings,
urban design deals with the larger scale of groups of buildings, streets and
public spaces, whole neighbourhoods and districts, and entire cities, with the
goal of making urban areas functional, attractive, and sustainable
• Urban design is concerned with the arrangement, appearance and function of our
suburbs, towns
and cities.
• It is both a process and an outcome of creating localities in which people live,
engage with each other, and engage with the physical place around them.
• It involves the design and coordination of all that makes up cities and towns.
• Urban design involves the arrangement and design of buildings, public spaces,
transport systems, services, and amenities. Urban design is the process of
giving form, shape, and character to groups of buildings, to whole
neighbourhoods, and the city.
• Urban design is about making connections between people and places,
movement and urban form, nature and the built fabric. Urban design draws
together the many strands of place-making, environmental stewardship, social
equity and economic viability into the creation of places with distinct beauty
and identity.
