- Summary
- Sustainable urban form is currently one of the most debated topics in urban design. There is, however; considerable discord regarding a suitable urban model and few, if any, practical guidelines are proposed as to how to restructure existing cities and conurbations to become more readily sustainable. By addressing both the theory of sustainable urban form and the need for applicable design guidelines to generate such a form, a strategic urban design approach is developed that, if implemented, would help achieve a more sustainable structure of the city and city region.
