Methods

Urban Design Methods is a manual for reconciling contemporary
approaches with increasingly complex demands in
the shaping of urban living spaces. Architects and landscape
architects, as well as city, regional, and landscape planners,
often find that they are unable to do modern projects justice
with their specialist skills alone. Cooperative approaches are
needed to deal with both the complexity of raising questions
and the growing number of affected parties who need
to be involved. Urban design—understood as an inter- and
transdisciplinary field at the interface of architecture, city and
regional planning, landscape architecture, sociology, and
the diverse stakeholders involved in any project—requires a
compendium of adaptable methods to dissolve the boundaries
between theory and praxis and between natural and
social systems. For the first time, this book collects a broad
spectrum of methods intended to support urban designers
in deciphering the contexts in which they work, and help
them attain a greater individual professional understanding.
It clearly outlines the range of challenges and the constantly
evolving areas of activity.
