The subject matter of this book is the pattern or structure of the city: it concentrates particularly upon the organization of the public realm. The book aims to relate the main components of urban design to a general theory or urban structuring with a strong design emphasis but within the general field of sustainable city development. There is some doubt about the long term survival of the planet as a vehicle for sustained human occupation in anything other than a degraded lifestyle.
Any discussion of urban design which does not address environmental issues has little meaning at a time of declining natural resources, ozone layer destruction and fears of the greenhouse effect. The book therefore discusses built form, street block, quarter and city structure in terms of energy conservation and sustainability.
