Professor Roy Strickland has been the Director of the Master of Urban Design Program at the University of Michigan since the program's inception 12 years ago, following his work at Columbia University and MIT. Mr. Strickland's design work has been featured in the New York Times, the Rhode Island School of Design, and UCLA among others. He is former Associate Editor of the Harvard Architecture Review and currently serves on the Editorial Advisory Board of Places: Forum of Environmental Design. He received his B.A. from Columbia and his M.Arch. from MIT. Dr. Strickland's design philosophy revolves around the axiom that complex problems have elegant answers and his anecdotes will illustrate just that!

Urban design is typically taught at American universities as a two or three year program, but instructor Emily Talen believes it can much more accessible. In fact, the tools used to communicate urban design concepts and interventions—Google Earth, GIS, SketchUp, image manipulation—are free, easy to learn, and transformative. With our knowledge about planning principles and the design of place in hand, these communication tools fundamentally change who can claim the role of urban designer. This eight course series explores essential urban design concepts through free, open source software and equips planners with the tools they need to participate fully in the urban design process.
The first course introduces the open source software you’ll use throughout the series to create analytical maps, 3D models, and 2D graphic designs. You’ll learn how to download the software, the basic tools and functionality of each program, and how these skills can contribute to the design process.

By creating 'water sensitive cities' it is possible to address the major challenges of water shortage, flooding and pollution. This film, commissioned by the Landscape Institute and based on work by CIRIA, Arup and AECOM, explains the concept of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) and argues the case for designing 'with' water when planning any new development.
Find out more about the Landscape Institute's work on water: http://landscapeinstitute.org
WSUD is an integrated solution to flooding, droughts and water quality, which promotes a more rational and frugal use of water alongside the creation of beautiful and resilient places. WSUD is about looking beyond the idea that a pipe in the ground is the best option for dealing with rain water -- it is about prioritising all elements of the water cycle when designing and developing new places. WSUD reduces flooding, harnesses the potential of flood water, cuts the demand for potable water and improves water quality -- all measures which make the water supply chain more sustainable.

Urban design
Urban design is the process of designing and shaping cities, towns and villages. In contrast to architecture, which focuses on the design of individual buildings, urban design deals with the larger scale of groups of buildings, streets and public spaces, whole neighborhoods and districts, and entire cities, with the goal of making urban areas functional, attractive, and sustainable.
Urban design is an inter-disciplinary subject that utilizes elements of many built environment professions, including landscape architecture, urban planning, architecture, civil and municipal engineering. It is common for professionals in all these disciplines to practice in urban design. In more recent times different sub-strands of urban design have emerged such as strategic urban design, landscape urbanism, water-sensitive urban design, and sustainable urbanism.
Urban design demands a good understanding of a wide range of subjects from physical geography, through to social science, and an appreciation for disciplines, such as real estate development, urban economics, political economy and social theory.

Resilience, the ability of complex systems to adapt to changing conditions, is a key frontier in ecological research and is especially relevant in creative urban design, as urban areas exemplify complex systems. With something approaching half of the worlds population now residing in coastal urban zones, many of which are vulnerable both to floods originating inland and rising sea levels, making urban areas more robust in the face of environmental threats must be a policy ambition of the highest priority.the complexity of urban areas results from their spatial heterogeneity, the...

It contends that the production of quality places which enhance economic prosperity, social cohesion and environmental sustainability require a transformation of market outcomes. The core of the book explores why this is essential, and how it can be delivered, by linking a clear vision for the future with the necessary means to achieve it. Crucially, the book argues that public authorities should seek to shape, regulate and stimulate real estate development so that developers, landowners and funders see real benefit in creating better places.k...

Japanese cities are amongst the most intriguing and confounding anywhere. Their structures, patterns of building and broader visual characteristics defy conventional urban design theories, and the book explores why this is so. Like its cities, Japans written language is recognized as one of the most complicated, and the book is unique in revealing how the two are closely related. Set perceptively against a sweep of ideas drawn from history, geography, science, cultural and design theory, Learning from the Japanese City is a highly original exploration of contemporary urbanism that crosses disciplines, scales, time and space.this is a thoroughly revised and much extended version of a book that drew extensive praise in its first edition. Most parts have stood the test of time and remain. A few are replaced or removed; about a hundred figures appear for the first time. Most important is an entirely new (sixth) section. This brings together many of the urban characteristics, otherwise encountered in fragments through the book, in one walkable district of what is arguably Japans most convenient metropolis, Nagoya.the interplay between culture, built form and cities remains at the heart of this highly readable book, while a change in subtitle to Looking East in Urban Design reflects increased emphasis on real places and design implications.

The contributors to this volume propose strategies of urgent and vital importance that aim to make todays urban environments more resilient. Resilience, the ability of complex systems to adapt to changing conditions, is a key frontier in ecological research and is especially relevant in creative urban design, as urban areas exemplify complex systems. With something approaching half of the worlds population now residing in coastal urban zones, many of which are vulnerable both to floods originating inland and rising sea levels, making urban areas more robust in the face of environmental threats must be a policy ambition of the highest priority.the complexity of urban areas results from their spatial heterogeneity, their intertwined material and energy fluxes, and the integration of social and natural processes. All of these features can be altered by intentional planning and design. The complex, integrated suite of urban structures and processes together affect the adaptive resilience of urban systems, but also presupposes that planners can intervene in positive ways. As examples accumulate of linkage between sustainability and building/landscape design, such as the Shanghai Chemical Industrial Park and Torontos Lower Don River area, this book unites the ideas, data, and insights of ecologists and related scientists with those of urban designers. It aims to integrate a formerly atomized dialog to help both disciplines promote urban resilience.

Shaping Places explains how towns and cities can turn real estate development to their advantage to create the kind of places where people want to live, work, relax and invest. It contends that the production of quality places which enhance economic prosperity, social cohesion and environmental sustainability require a transformation of market outcomes. The core of the book explores why this is essential, and how it can be delivered, by linking a clear vision for the future with the necessary means to achieve it. Crucially, the book argues that public authorities should seek to shape, regulate and stimulate real estate development so that developers, landowners and funders see real benefit in creating better places.key to this is seeing planners as market actors, whose potential to shape the built environment depends on their capacity to understand and transform the embedded attitudes and practices of other market actors. This requires planners to be skilled in understanding the political economy of real estate development and successful in changing its outcomes through smart intervention. Drawing on a strong theoretical framework, the book reveals how the future of places will come to be shaped through constant interaction between State and market power.filled with international examples, essential case studies, color diagrams and photographs, this is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students taking planning, property, real estate or urban design courses as well as for social science students more widely who wish to know how the shaping of place really occurs.

Read your free e-book: http://hotaudiobook.com/mebk/50/en/B00CKIUE3I/book
Designing to Heal explores what happens to communities that have suffered disasters, either natural or man-made, and what planners and urban designers can do to give the affected communities the best possible chance of recovery. It examines the relationship that people have with their surroundings and the profound disruption to people's lives that can occur when that relationship is violently changed; when the familiar settings for their lives are destroyed and family, friends and neighbours are displaced, incapacitated or killed. The book offers a model of the healing process, outlining the emotional journey that people go on as they struggle to rebuild their lives. It outlines the characteristics of the built environment that may facilitate people to travel as smoothly as possible down this road to recovery and suggests elements of the design process that can help achieve this goal. Designing to Heal highlights the importance of thinking about urban design as a way of nurturing hope and creating the optimal conditions to achieve social objectives.

NYC: The nature of Urban Design - Alexandros Washburn
The Director of Urban Design for the New York City Department of Planning, Alexandros Washburn, visited BE to present an overview of his forthcoming book. Titled 'The Nature of Urban Design', the book is described as a redefinition of urban design principles and practices for the 21st century within the context of rapid urbanization and accelerated climate change. This study, a synthesis of research and practice supported by a grant from the Rockfeller Foundation, takes a provocative New York approach to urban design - operating at 'the intersection of politics, finance and design' to achieve 'the quantity of Robert Moses, the quality of Jane Jacobs and the nature of Frederick Law Olmsted simultaneously in every project'.

Vittorio Lampugnani, "Towards a New Discipline of Urban Design"
Urban design is a discipline with a great tradition that has to be refounded: in order to oppose the sprawl and shape new cities that are dense, sustainable, communicative and cheerful. Although still a work in progress, the Campus designed and (partially) built for a pharmaceutical company in Basel is more than just a collection of buildings by internationally renown architects; it is an example of the application of a controversial theoretical approach to urban design to a complex case study. Vittorio Lampugnani was born in Rome in 1951 and studied architecture in Rome and in Stuttgart, receiving a doctorate in 1977. Prof. Lampugnani has been a Professor of architecture at Harvard, Frankfurt am Main and Pamplona, and has been Professor for the History of Urban Design at the Swiss Feder...

On November 7, 2013, Chief Planner for the City of Toronto Jennifer Keesmaat presented the talk "Walking Your Talk – Integrating Walkability in Urban Design" as part of the Building, Ecology, Science and Technology (B.E.S.T.) Lecture Series at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design.
Is there an urban amenity that is more democratic than walkability? Regardless of your demographic, walking around your city is a positive way to improve your health, the economy and the environment. But many of Toronto's new developments have failed to give priority to walkability, in stark contrast to the numerous established districts and neighbourhoods that are among the most walkable in the world. As population growth advances across the GTHA, it is critical for sustainable urban development to walk its talk through effective guidelines and a deeper understanding of best practices. Undoing unwalkability will also be an important future challenge. This public lecture examined how walkability can be advanced while positively contributing to the challenges of intensification, public transit and priority neighbourhoods.
As the recently engaged Chief Planner for the City of Toronto, Jennifer is committed to creating places where people flourish. Over the past decade Jennifer has been repeatedly recognized by the Canadian Institute of Planners, OPPI, the Design Exchange, + EDRA for her innovative work in Canadian municipalities. Her planning practice is characterized by an emphasis on collaborations across sectors, and broad engagement with municipal staff, councils, developers, business leaders, NGOs and residents associations. Her priorities include developing a divisional strategic plan, leading an Official Plan review process, refining public consultation to provide more access to city building conversations, transit planning, midrise development on the City of Toronto's many avenues, and overseeing development review for over 4000 applications annually.
Jennifer is the founder of Project Walk, which premiered its first short film in 2011, as an official selection at TIFF. In 2012 Jennifer debuted her first TED talk, Walk to School and in 2013 she delivered her second, Own Your City. Jennifer is a graduate of the University of Western Ontario (combined honours English and Philosophy) and has a Master in Environmental Studies (Politics and Planning) from York University.
The B.E.S.T. lecture series is proudly sponsored by Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance.
