PLANNING 2
URBAN DESIGN
Lesson 3.1: Documenting the City
The system of design and process of presentation

Basic Cycle of Urban design process:
1. Identify Issues and Options
2. State Goals, Objective-setting and priorities
3. Collect and Interpret Data
• Situational analysis
4. Prepare plans
5. Draft programs for Plan Implementation
• Synthesis
6. Evaluate Impacts of Plans and Implementation Program
7. Review and Adopt plans
8. Review and Adopt plans (Implementation program)
9. Administer Implementation

Urban design process
1. Identify Issues and Options
The issues, findings, and recommendations of a plan should consider the
knowledge and concerns of existing residents, businesses, and other
interests in the planning area, and the anticipated concerns of those
interests in the future.
• What is not right?
• What liabilities?
• Whose problem?
• Who is affected?
• Why is it a problem?
• When is it a problem?
• Where?
• What does it call for?

2. State Goals, Objective-setting, and priorities
Reaching consensus on these three components is often quite difficult, if not
impossible. The community's goal, objectives, vision, mission and priorities may
be based on their Barangay profile or CLUP and CDP.
✓Goals - loose statements of principle that establish a direction and would
hardly provide measurable variables for gauging success.
✓Objectives - A set of measurable objectives should accompany the goals
established for the plan.

Several questions can be asked at the outset of the planning process to
determine the objectives of the community.
Examples of such questions include:
• What type of development pattern do the stakeholders want?
• What type of transportation system and network does the community want?
• What forms of housing do stakeholders want in the community?
• What program of uses do stakeholders want for the downtown area?

Local/Scale Goal (example) Objective (example)
Region To engender a feeling of the countryside
into the city.
To develop parks along all the
waterways that connect developed
urban areas and open countryside.
City To maintain the downtown area as a
strong metropolitan center.
To create economic incentives for
downtown reinvestment.
Neighborhood To reduce conflicts between residential
and industrial land uses.
To create visual and acoustical buffers
using fencing and landscaping between
all residential property that abuts
industrial land uses.
Block To maintain the sense of visual
enclosure that presently exists on the
street.
To limit new development to existing
building heights and setbacks in
conformance with existing street
character.

Situational analyses, through inventories and other data collection
techniques.
Considerations:
1. Land use, population, transportation, natural systems, and topography; the
varied character of areas, structure of neighborhoods and business areas.
2. Central to understanding the structure, organization, and pattern of urban
areas

4. Prepare plans – Site inspection
1. Visual survey - an urban design tool used to communicate the perceptions of the
structure and organization of a city.
2. Identification of hard and soft areas - Demarcation of the urban fabric into hard
and soft areas assists the designer in identification of the parts of the city that can
accommodate growth and change
3. Functional analysis - This examines the relationship of activities among the
various land uses and how they relate to circulation systems.

Making a Visual Survey
A visual survey is an examination of the form, appearance, and composition of a
city. An evaluation of its assets (to be protected) and liabilities (to be corrected).
As an analysis of a city, its objectives are twofold:
• To establish the relationship between spatial components as well as assessment
of their condition.
• To determine where the area investigated needs improvement, reshaping and
remodeling.
• A visual survey can be made at different urban scales

Components of a visual survey:
❑ Image of the city
❑ Landform and Nature
❑ Local Climate
❑ Shape of urban form
❑ Size and Density
❑ Pattern, Grain, and Texture
❑ Urban Spaces and Open Spaces
❑ Routes of movement
❑ Districts/Enclaves/Sectors
❑ Activity structure
❑ Orientation
❑ Details
❑ Pedestrian areas
❑ Vistas and skylines
❑ Non-physical Aspects
❑ Problem Areas

5. Draft programs for Plan Implementation
Synthesis
Design concepts that reflect an understanding of the constraints of the problem
and propose optimum solutions, based on tradeoffs such as between motor traffic
and pedestrians.
Main activities include:
1. Evolution of concepts for development
2. Development of schematic design
3. Preliminary Designs

6. Evaluate Impacts of Plans and Implementation Program
Evaluation Based on two main criteria:
1. How well the solutions fit the problem.
2. How readily the proposals can be implemented.
Thus, evaluation may examine:
1. Ability to meet objectives.
2. Ability to gain public acceptance.
3. Meeting financial and technical demands.

IMPACT STATEMENT:

9. Implementation
Devising the actual strategies for financing and construction.
Implementation relies on two main tools:
1. Land use controls: include the traditional/Euclidean zoning ordinance, Planned Unit
Development, Incentive/Bonus zoning, and Transfer of Development Rights
2. Capital expenditures: these shape the pattern of land use by altering land values
through the provision of access and utilities.
