Urban design involves the arrangement and design of buildings, public spaces, transport systems, services, and amenities.
Urban design blends architecture, landscaping, and city planning together to make urban areas functional and attractive.
Urban design is about making connections between people and places, movement and urban form, nature and the built fabric. Urban design draws together the many strands of place-making, environmental stewardship, social equity and economic viability into the creation of places with distinct beauty and identity.
Urban design is derived from architectural design, development economics, engineering and landscape, but transcends planning and transportation policy. "The building of cities is one of man's greatest achievements." -Edmund
Bacon
This process is achieved by establishing identifiable neighborhoods, unique architecture, aesthetically pleasing public places and vistas, identifiable landmarks and focal points, and a human element established by compatible scales of development and ongoing public stewardship.
Urban design practice areas range in scale from small public spaces or streets to neighborhoods, city-wide systems, or whole regions. Urban design is essentially an ethical endeavor, inspired by the vision of public art and architecture and reified by the science of construction." -Donald Watson
