Description
This is a handbook that sets out objectives, policies and design principles for planning new communities and re-planning existing ones. The emphasis is on planning by design, that is, by applying principles of urban design and physical place making to planning problems.
Instead of the conventional planning methodology of outlining uses and policies with two-dimensional graphics and dense technical language, this book demonstrates, via a series of illustrated case studies, how better plans can be produced and better places created by working in three-dimensional urban design detail.
Using the specific physical attributes of natural and urban places, utilizing traditional, human-scaled urban typologies, and presenting design solutions for development control in a simplified way, the authors explain in simple steps how communities can radically improve their town planning process.
