The urgency for more sustainable urban design has never been greater. In Dynamic Urban Design, author Michael A. von Hausen answers that call, outlining a model for creating flexible and enduring communities for people around the world. Targeted toward seasoned professionals, students, community advocates, and politicians who want to take their community to the next level of social, economic, and environmental performance, Dynamic Urban Design presents a model for designing communities strategically using comprehensive, community-basedprocesses and plans. It addresses contemporary urban design practice and applied sustainability in downtown, suburban, and rural areas. Real- world case studies, enriched with more than two hundred illustrations, show you how to apply these universal lessons and ingredients to your own communities. A reference guide to doing it right, Dynamic Urban Design offers a universal, tangible, and viable tool kit to aid in effective community development. It interweaves theory and practice to unite urban design and sustainability in a practical, measured way; Índice: p. 493-514 N2 - Contenido: I A SUSTAINABLE FRAMEWORK 1 BUiLDINC BLOCKS The nature of urban design Origins of sustainable community developmenr Linking disciplines across boundaries A dynamic urban design model 2 FROM ANCIENT ROME TO CITY BEAUTIFUL Discovering the spirit of place The formative years Industrial new towns, grand city plans, and livability City Beautiful movement 3 TWENTIETH-CENTURY TRANSFORMATIONS Birth of the neighborhood unit New town movement Car-oriented North American suburbs Urban renewal Pattern language and good city form Sustainability, Smart Growth, and New Urbanism The rural cluster and saving our countryside Lessons for the future Summary of concepts and theorists k SUCCESSFUL PLACES Nine key elements of urban design Measurable and nonmeasurable elements Ten poor form-makers: What not to do Ten key principies of urban design The place test: Twenty-five questions II ANALYSIS AND INTEGRATION 5 SITE ANALYSIS Sample neighborhood analysis task list Summary of sustainable process and product elements Interactive stakeholder process Ten best practices for public engagement 6 PLAN-MAKING IN THEORY Processing complex information: The "making" process....
