Urban Connections in the Contemporary Pedestrian Landscape
Urban Connections in the Contemporary Pedestrian Landscape explores the significant physical and cultural changes in our urban areas following the implementation of design strategies and increased pedestrian activity. Beginning with a history of the urban grid, the book then discusses experiential factors of pedestrianized urban landscapes in three scales: arterials, collectors, and locals, with an emphasis on inductive and deductive design alternatives.
It closely examines elements derived from current urban pedestrian experiences including form, scale, surfaces, and identity, and provides alternative design solutions for the future.
Uniquely focusing on a hierarchical discussion of the quality of contemporary landscape design applications within the urban grid, and with illustrated examples throughout the text, this will be useful recommended reading for academics, researchers, and postgraduate students on urban landscape and design courses.
