Description
This subject introduces students to urban design principles for economically viable, socially supportive, culturally rich, and environmentally sustainable urban places. Contemporary urban design principles are explored in the context of an understanding of pre-modern, modern and post-modern urban design ideas and examples. Principles, protocols and charters adopted by interdisciplinary urban design alliances and Transit Oriented Development proponents are analysed in the light of the influence of a growing body of theory and practice that has built on the mid-twentieth century work of Kevin Lynch and Jane Jacobs. The subject emphasises a collaborative urban design approach integrating the work of professionals in related fields including design, real estate, environmental management and planning.
