Whilst, in Western countries, this demand is variable, it is also long established. One side-effect of this is that whilst the discipline remains firmly embedded in the formative and Western contributions of its founding mothers and fathers the likes of Jane Jacobs, Kevin Lynch, Gordon Cullen, and Christopher Alexander their significance is also reducing in an ever more sophisticated and nuanced set of understandings and analyses from around the world derived from a combination of theoretical exploration, empirical evidence and knowledge derived from reflective practice.

The interpretation of this philosophy, however, varied widely in practice: low-, medium-, and high- density; vehicular and pedestrian segregation e.t.c ( Ref:Aldo van Eyck, Ralph erskine, Giancarlo De Carlo) Alludes to land-efficient planning methods and sustainable neighbourhoods: adequate size; compact form; appropriate urban density; varied mix of uses and tenure; a range of employment, leisure and community facilities; ready access to public transport; and a pedestrian-friendly environment. 0000002946 00000 n
These are now re-conceptualised in two new process dimensions design governance and place production and the notion of urban design as a process runs like a golden thread throughout the book.
