With the UN-Habitat estimating that by 2035 the majority of the world’s population will be living in metropolitan areas, this cutting-edge Research Handbook explores the emerging field of urban design and its place in contemporary scholarship.
Gathering together a broad spectrum of eminent and up-and-coming scholars across the globe, Marion Roberts and Suzy Nelson demonstrate the depth and rigour of 21st century urban design research. Contributors explore a wide range of topics such as effectively aligning urban design and landscape; reshaping the sustainable city; crisis and temporary public spaces; indigenous urbanism; and designing a healthy neighbourhood. Combining theoretical knowledge with practical application, this erudite Research Handbook analyses key literature in the field supported by an in-depth examination of international case studies.
Offering an extensive cross-disciplinary overview of urban design scholarship, this Research Handbook will prove an enlightening read for academics and researchers in urban design, planning, urban studies, landscape architecture, human geography and cultural studies. Its wealth of specialist knowledge will also benefit urban design, city and planning practitioners alike.

我的城市设计是一个关键的职业平衡mperatives for beauty, justice, and sustainability in today’s increasingly dynamic cities. The Research Handbook on Urban Design is a detailed, convincing, and broad-ranging look at empirical inquiry across the scales, sites, spaces, and settlements of urban design. Practitioners, scholars, and students will find the Handbook a valuable and attractive addition to their libraries.’

“从internati汇集的贡献onal team of urban design academics and professionals, this collection is a welcome addition to the literature on urban design research, enriching a key field in an urbanizing world.’
– Ali Madanipour, Newcastle University, UK
‘This carefully-curated collection demonstrates two things. First, the sheer diversity and interdisciplinarity of urban design as a focus for research. Second, the ingenuity of researchers faced with understanding the multiple wicked urban problems that this throws up. In doing so it offers a valuable guide for researchers in urban design at all levels and internationally.’
– Matthew Carmona, University College London, UK
‘This edited collection offers timely and important contributions to urban design as a global practice and an academic discipline – admirably bridging both while also balancing the physicality of space with public interests, contributions by established and emergent researchers, and geographic and cultural representations of the practice and study of urban design.’
