WHAT IS URBAN
DESIGN?
Urban design is the design of towns and
cities, streets and spaces. It is the
collaborative and multi-disciplinary
process of shaping the physical setting
for life – the art of making places.
IMPORTANCE OF
URBAN DESIGN
URBAN DESIGN INVOLVES DIFFERENT THINGS
LIKE HOW BUILDINGS ARE MADE, HOW LAND
IS USED, AND HOW ROADS ARE PLANNED.

URBAN DESIGN SHOULD INCLUDE TALKING TO

THE PEOPLE WHO WILL USE THE AREA, AND
WHO LIVES IN THE AREA.
KEY ASPECTS OF URBAN DESIGN
PLACES FOR PEOPLE
Quality of the public realm
An environment where everyone can access and benefit from the
full range of opportunities available to members of society.

ENRICH THE EXISTING

Character
New developments integrated into the existing urban form and
the natural and built environments

MAKE CONNECTIONS
Ease of movement and legibility
The connections between people and places by considering the
needs of people
KEY ASPECTS OF URBAN DESIGN
WORK WITH THE LANDSCAPE
Natural Harmonics
A balance between the natural and man-made environment and
utilize each site’s intrinsic resources.

MIX USES AND FORM

Diversity
A variety of demands from the widest possible range of users,
amenities and social groups.

MANAGE THE INVESTMENT

Market considerations
Economically viable

DESIGN FOR CHANGE

Adaptability
Designing for energy and resource efficiency; creating flexibility in
the use of property, public spaces, and the service infrastructure.
 HOW THE COMPENDIUM
IS ORGANISED

3 LEVELS OF PRJECT DEVELOPMENT:

1. Commissioning and setting up development

projects
2. Designing individual schemes
3. Evaluating project proposals in design terms

 THE VALUE OF GUIDANCE

guidance contained within the Compendium

relating to both the ‘product’ and ‘process’ of
urban design provides a comprehensive overview.
For every piece of general guidance produced,
there is an excellent place that defies the
guidance, or shows other ways of achieving high
quality solutions. Genius, or indeed serendipity,
breaks the rules.
HOW TO USE THE COMPENDIUM

The Compendium has been constructed in such a way that it can

be read as a single coherent narrative, tracing the design of a
project from first principles to specific features, but at the same
time it can be dipped into on a topic-by-topic basis.
There is no prescription in the Compendium but neither does it
shirk from giving quantitative advice where this is deemed
helpful.
Different parts of the Compendium will be relevant to different
types of project.
All significant area regeneration projects should pass through
each of these processes. Smaller projects will need to employ
some but not all of the stages.
NATURAL RESOURCES
• Integrates the various needs of the new
development;
• Identifies possibilities that the site offers; and
recognises the site’s limitations.
WORK WITH THE ELEMENTS
The optimum approach involves the maximum use of the site’s
resources while placing minimum demands on the environment.

utilise the solar potential;

make full use of rain water and drainage systems;
use the potential of the ground for heating or cooling;
harness wind energy;
further reduce energy demands by, for instance, integrating a Combined
Heat and Power (CHP) plant into the development or harnessing of
biomass.
 ‘As a general principle, it is important to
‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ focus on how to repair and re-use
previously developed or damaged parts
The critical questions to be asked
of the site, while retaining and respecting
include:
undamaged parts. This requires three key
considerations:
• Should the site be developed at all?
• If it should, then what parts of the site?
1. Identify landscape assets to preserve.
• What mitigation measures can be taken to
2. Re-use and repair brownfield land

• How can exploitation of the site’s assets
3. Strengthen the identity and structure of

CONNECTIONS
Successful development depends on good access
and connections. The connections between a site
and its surroundings are important for even the
smallest of developments.
 THE CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS THAT WILL PROVIDE THE BASIS OF A
MOVEMENT FRAMEWORK WILL NEED TO ESTABLISH:

how routes from the new site will knit in with the existing infrastructure;
the provision made for all forms of movement, with positive discrimination
how the new development can benefit the area as a whole
how movement will be provided for at all stages in the development.

AT PROJECT INCEPTION, IT IS A MATTER OF ESTABLISHING THE

PRINCIPLES OF THE MOVEMENT FRAMEWORK. THE STRUCTURE WILL BE
DESIGNED LATER IN RELATION TO THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT SCHEME.

Understand existing access and linkages

Observe the quality of movement
COMMUNITY
A project's success or failure in the community depends on
how well the human and physical geographies are
understood. In addition to being pleasant and secure,
buildings and open areas must be stimulating for people.
Understanding the dynamics of the neighborhood is
necessary for this, THAT INCLUDES:

• local views and initiatives;

• local history and custom;
• the views of other stakeholder groups and individuals (such
as developers, landowners, utility organizations);
• organizational or institutional arrangements;
• the policy context.

PLACE
The term "genius loci" refers to a place's pervasive sense of
place and is used in urban design. The settlement in the
landscape, its general structure, the district, the street, and
the building all play a role in how a place is seen. They result
from an awareness of a site's natural landscape, human
geography, history, and morphology of previous usage, as
well as the buildings on the site and those in the area.

This study is crucial for both regeneration and new

construction projects in order to give them personality and
stop the creation of unending, nearly featureless estates that
are uniform in appearance across the nation.
FEASIBILITY
The feasibility of a project, both in
economic and practical terms,
requires an assessment of:

community need;
market supply and demand;
funding sources;
site capacity;
land ownership, assembly and
tenure;
integration with surrounding
context;
• construction costs;
• engineering constraints;
• local planning policy context.

Value can be created
Urban design is used to increase the value of a site or
location when it provides social, economic, and
environmental benefits.

Constraints can be overcome

it acknowledges new proposals and solutions
to a certain location. It can cause a big
transformation to a city.

Context is dynamic
Future changes in lifestyles, movement patterns, and household
size and composition can be handled by designs that are simply
flexible. It is crucial to think of a masterplan as a framework that
will allow for adjustments throughout time.
