Description

Urban design is concerned with improving the quality of the public realms of human settlements. As a basis for designing guidelines for the achievement of a high quality environment it is important to understand how different patterns of urban space are associated with specific behaviours and aesthetic effects within different cultures. The lectures/seminars focus on the empirical research on people (designers and users) and urban space uses and meanings. Assessment is by two essays.
