english term:

Urban design

english definition:

Urban design concerns the arrangement, appearance and functionality of towns and cities. This embraces all the planning procedures and measures which relate to the organization and development of the urban structure. Its focus is particularly on public space including the totality of spaces that are used freely on a day-to-day basis by the general public. This encompasses streets and parks together with public infrastructure and privately-owned places. It is concerned with the way these places are experienced and used, and so facades of buildings and other elements that contribute to the quality of public space are considered although the emphasis is on spaces between buildings rather than on the buildings themselves.  Urban design considers: Structure – How a place is put together and how its parts relate to each other
Accessibility – Providing for ease, safety and choice when moving to and through places
Legibility – Helping people to find their way around and understand how a place works
Animation – Designing places to stimulate public activity
Function and fit – Shaping places to support their varied intended uses
Complementary mixed uses – Locating activities to allow constructive interaction between them
Character and meaning – Recognizing and valuing the differences between one place and another
Order and incident – Balancing consistency and variety in the urban environment in the interests of appreciating both
Continuity and change – Locating people in time and place, including respect for heritage and support for contemporary culture
Civil society – Making places where people are free to encounter each other as civic equals.
