URBAN DESIGN
INTRODUCTION- TO URBAN DESIGN
AND EMERGING CONCEPTS
LECTURE 1
What is Urban Design ?
Urban design is concerned with the design of the building, places,
spaces and networks that make up our towns and cities, and the
ways people use them. It ranges in scale from a metropolitan region,
city or town down to a street, public space or even a single building.
Urban Design And Urban Designers
Urban design defines the nature
of buildings and the spaces betwe
en them, and how the design itself
should be worked out: design proc
esses and outcomes. Urban desig
n inspires, illustrates and defines h
ow a place could be improved or p
rotected to bring benefits to invest
ors, developers and wider society.
Urban designers are typically arch
itects, town planners or landscap
e architects. Their skill is to bring to
gether ideas from developers, local
communities, architects, planners, tr
affic engineers, landscape architect
s, transport planners and many othe
rs, to resolve problems and conflicts
in order to create better places for e
veryone.

01
Going green/ trend of greenery and biophilic design
Studies suggest that spaces that emb
race the trend of greenery and biophil
ic design can inspire creativity and ev
en improve brain function.
Urban planners are finding more inno
vative ways in which to weave nature
into city urban design as councils hav
e slowly implemented mandatory gre
ening requirements.
Incorporating nature into traditionally
urban spaces such as rooftops creat
e a feeling of the outdoors without the
need to leave the city.
Biophilic design–Amazon’s orb-shaped rainforest HQ in Seattle as an example
MASS PARTICIPATION IN CITY BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT
In this approach, through mass participation, supported by open data and technology, and
with local government acting as a platform, cities can use citizens as a ‘sensor’ and benefit
from greater innovation, better utilization of resources and an increased sense of
ownership. Co-creation through mass participation is a bi- or multidirectional human-
centred approach, instead of just a bottom-up or traditional top-down approach.

MASS PARTICIPATION IN CITY BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT
SMART AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS AND INFRASTRUCTURES
In this approach-World Green Building Council defines a green building as one that, “in its design, construction or
operation, reduces or eliminates negative impacts, and can create positive impacts, on our climate and natural
environment; preserve precious natural resources and improve our quality of life”.39 Given the pressure on cities to act
on climate change, green buildings are going to invade our urban centres. Besides being built with sustainable and
ethical materials, they will be energy, water and resources-efficient; environment-friendly by design – powered by
renewables (such as solar) and capable of producing their own energy (electricity prosumers); covered by vertical
and/or rooftop gardens; and able to provide a better indoor environment for those who live in them or use them.

Re-Urbanisation
The great Australian dream of home ownership pr
ompted the suburban sprawl during the second h
alf of the 20th century.
After decades of affordable land release and larg
e residential blocks, there’s been trend towards
“reviving” our urban centres.
We’re moving away from the house and land sub
urban emptiness and re-embracing cities as the
knowledge and innovation-based economy be
comes ever more dominant.
Over the past decade, small-scale policy intervent
ions in urban design have attempted to repopulat
e the inner- and middle-urban areas.
Subdivision, smaller block sizes, zoning changes
and infill development are all regulatory measures
that have been implemented in various measures
to repopulate Australia’s urban areas.

Digitalisation
With technology integrated into new buildings as
a rule rather than an exception, the digital age d
oes indeed seem to be upon us.
The major driver for innovation in this sector has
been the trend in energy and sustainability with “
IoT” intelligent buildings monitoring resource con
sumption, boosting efficiency and reducing ener
gy costs.
More and more digital technologies are integrate
d into urban design, reaching from basic element
s such as LCD screens instead of traditional billb
oards to embedded technology leading to trends
in smart buildings and computer automation.
Urban connectivity is rapidly growing in importan
ce for urban design.
By digitally connecting public transport, social se
rvices, health and public spaces to increase acc
essibility and create higher efficiency, the face of
our cities will continue to visibly have key trends
in the evolution towards a more digital world.

A city is identified by businesses, population, and a unique cultural
landscape. Major characteristics of cities include having downtown

Cities play an important role in economic development. Cities provide economies of scale, agglomeration, and localization; they provide efficient infrastruct
ure and services through density and concentration in transportation, communications, community power, human interactions, water and sanitation services.

Why innovation thrives in cities
Double a city’s population and its economic productivity goes up 130 percent. MIT
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology) researchers think they know why
In 2010, in the journal Nature, a pair of
physicists at the Santa Fe Institute sho
wed that when the population of a city
doubles, economic productivity goes
up by an average of 130 percent. No
t only does total productivity increase
with increased population, but so does
per-capita productivity.
