urban design consideration

2. Urban design
considerations are
formulated to bring
to the attention of the
designers in applying the
valuable design
requirements to buildings
and urban spaces.

4. Spatial types and morphologies : urban pattern, street network, solid and void

5. Providing for ease, safety and choice when moving to and through places

6. Helping people to find their way around and understand how a place works

7. Designing places to stimulate public activity

8. Shaping places to support their varied intended uses

9. Locating activities to allow constructive interaction between them

10. Recognizing and valuing the differences between one place and another

11. Balancing consistency and variety in the urban environment

12. Respect for heritage and support for contemporary culture

14. Developing visions for places –
using creativity and imagination
to invent or re invent the
environments we live and work in.

15. Designing built spaces- from whole towns and neighborhoods
to individual streets or squares.

16. 1.Researching
2. Analyzing places
3. Understanding the physical, political, economic, spatial
and psychological context of the places you work with and
the people who use them.

17. Influencing people by using skills and knowledge to help
others make better decisions and teach them how to make
successful places.

18. Developing guidance and
policies relating to the built
environment.

19. What gets urban
designers out of
bed in the morning
is the challenge of
creating a place that
will be used and
enjoyed by a wide
range of different
purposes, not only now
but in years to come.

20. An urban designer needs a board
understanding of cities, towns and villages,
and ways of making them work better.
This involves understanding how the planning system
operates, how developers make their sums add up,
how to assess what makes a particular place special,
how to make places easy to move around by foot and
vehicles, how to bring life to places, how to conserve
historic buildings, how to make the most of landscape,
how o think about the future of development sites, how
to involve local people, etc.

21. That’s sounds a lot of subjects !!!. But
they are all related.. The urban
designer is not expected to be an
expert on all of them, but it is
essential to be able to see the whole
picture.
