Essentials of Urban Design
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)
have released 'Essentials of Urban Design.' Written by David Lock
Associates very own Mark Sheppard, Essentials of Urban Design explains
the fundamental concepts of urban design, providing the understanding
and tools needed to achieve better design outcomes.
Each chapter outlines the key steps in designing or assessing a different type of development. All common types of urban development are addressed, from infill buildings to whole urban growth areas, residential to employment uses, and centres to public transport interchanges. For each development type, widely accepted urban design principles are explained, and 'rules of thumb' provided.
It is a practical handbook that is liberally illustrated with diagrams, photos of 'good' and 'bad' examples of urban design and handy checklists for common urban design tasks. It will be a valuable reference tool for architects, developers, urban planners, traffic engineers, landscape architects, councillors, planning lawyers, planning tribunal members and residents concerned about development.
We'd like to congratulate Mark on his achievement.
Essentials of Urban Design can be purchased through CSIRO publishing.
