Wellgrounded in the history and theory of AngloAmerican urbanism, this illustrated textbook sets out objectives, policies and design principles for planning new communities and redeveloping existing urban neighborhoods. Drawing from their extensive experience, the authors explain how better plans (and consequently better places) can be created by applying the threedimensional principles of urban design and physical placemaking to planning problems.Design First uses case studies from the authors own professional projects to demonstrate how theory can be turned into effective practice, using concepts of traditional urban form to resolve contemporary planning and design issues in American communities.The book is aimed at architects, planners, developers, planning commissioners, elected officials and citizens and, importantly, students of architecture and planning with the objective of reintegrating threedimensional design firmly back into planning practice.
