Public Places - Urban Spaces by Matthew Carmona
A guide to the many complex and interacting dimensions of urban design. It discusses systematically through ideas, theories, research and the practice of urban design from a range of sources. It presents six key dimensions of urban design theory and practice - the social, visual, functional, temporal, morphological and perceptual.
The book looks at different theories of urban design, the context within which design takes place and dimensions of urban design- April 2003, Inside Housing A self-described 'exposition of the different, but intimately related, dimensions of urban design', this book takes a holistic approach in order to be both an overview and general guide. ...The book is well organised; its uncomplicated style makes for rapid reading and easy comprehension. ...a thorough and workman-like reference for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of urban design. - May 2003, The Architects' Journal 'This will become the standard textbook on its subject, and deservedly so.' Robert Cowan, Director, Urban Design Group, UK '...the result is practical, helpful, packed with useful information and easy to understand...this is the book I wish I had written!'
