Essentials of Urban Design explains the fundamental concepts of urban design, providing the understanding and tools needed to achieve better design outcomes. It is equally useful for designing places and evaluating designs. Each chapter outlines the key steps in designing or assessing a different type of development. All common types of urban development are addressed, from infill buildings to whole urban growth areas, residential to employment uses, and centres to public transport interchanges. For each development type, widely accepted urban design principles are explained, and 'rules of thumb' provided.
Mark Sheppard is a practising urban designer. He has worked in the field since 1993, first in England and then in Australia, where he is Principal of David Lock Associates. Prior to that, Mark completed a Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Auckland, New Zealand and a Diploma and MA in Urban Design at Oxford Brookes University, UK. His favourite pastime is exploring new cities.
