The Evolution of American Urban Design |
| David Gosling (Univ. of Cincinnati) |
Urban design affects the vast majority of the world's population. The quality of our living and working environment is dictated by it, and yet it is often either bound up in political red tape or dominated by notions of individual freedom that preclude the development of a successful overall system. It is a complex discipline that deals not only with the visual aspects of the environment, but also with the non-tangible aspects such as noise, water provision, air pollution and traffic safety.
