Design of Urban Space : An Inquiry into a Socio-spatial Process

Draws together in one volume the major themes in urban design today - uncertainty regarding nature and scope; increased demand for courses in urban design; and increased demand for research in subject.

This book delineates the subject areas of urban design and bridges the gap between purely architectural formulations and the practitioners guides.

It includes examples taken from Europe, America and the Middle East. The book should be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students in geography planning, landscape architecture and architecture; educators and professionals in urban design and planning.
