  • Abstract : "urban design is not 'just' about street design, but potentially affects, and should be seen as integral to, al levels and al aspects of town planning and architecture. A key feature of modern urban design practice is the ability to integrate a concern with the visual and aesthetic aspects of urban form with a social awareness of the need of user groups, plus a sensitivity to wider environmental and sustainibility issues."
