Taylor & Francis Ltd Transforming Public Space through Play
This book provides an empirical analysis of the concept of play as a form of spatial practice in urban public spaces. The introduced CityPlayFramework (CPF) is a practical urban analysis tool that allows urban designers, landscape architects and researchers to develop a shared awareness when opening up this window of possibility for adventure. Two case studies substantiate and illustrate the development process and testing of the framework in Canberra, Australia, and Potsdam, Germany. The appropriation of public spaces that transcend boundaries can facilitate an intrinsic connection between people and their immediate environment, towards a more joyful ontological state of human existence in which imagination, co-creation and a sense of agency are key elements of the design approach. The framework presents an alternative understanding of public spaces and public life, reflecting on theory and its implications for practice in a post-pandemic world in dense urban centres.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Outdoor Lighting for Pedestrians
Book SynopsisOutdoor Lighting for Pedestrians shows how outdoor lighting is important for pedestrians' safety, personal security, and comfort, with major impacts on street, path, and park aesthetics and neighborhood sense of place. Providing clear, basic technical background (accessible to non-engineers), the book focuses especially on planning and policy concerns. It covers the fundamentals of lighting technology; benefits, costs, and possible adverse impacts of lighting enhancements; traditional and innovative approaches; planning and policy documents and practices; aesthetics and placemaking; and technology trends in lighting design. This book is aimed primarily at practicing transportation planners and engineers, generalist urban planners, safety advocates and researchers, and university students. However, lighting designers and other professionals will also find it useful. It considers how lighting can be coordinated with other potential improvements to enhance the pedestrian environTable of Contents1. Introduction2. Lighting 101: Technical Fundamentals3.

Taylor & Francis Regenerative Urban Design and Ecosystem
Book SynopsisIt is clear that the climate is changing and ecosystems are becoming severely degraded. Humans must mitigate the causes of, and adapt to, climate change and the loss of biodiversity, as the impacts of these changes become more apparent and demand urgent responses. These pressures, combined with rapid global urbanisation and population growth mean that new ways of designing, retrofitting and living in cities are critically needed. Incorporating an understanding of how the living world works and what ecosystems do into architectural and urban design is a step towards the creation and evolution of cities that are radically more sustainable and potentially regenerative. Can cities produce their own food, energy, and water? Can they be designed to regulate climate, provide habitat, cycle nutrients, and purify water, air and soil?This book examines and defines the field of biomimicry for sustainable built environment design and goes on to translate ecological knowledge into practical methodologies for architectural and urban design that can proactively respond to climate change and biodiversity loss. These methods are tested and exemplified through a series of case studies of existing cities in a variety of climates.Regenerative Urban Design and Ecosystem Biomimicry will be of great interest to students, professionals and researchers of architecture, urban design, ecology, and environmental studies, as well as those interested in the interdisciplinary study of sustainability, ecology and urbanism.Table of Contents1. A shift in architectural and urban design: cities as a medium of change 2. Incorporating biomimicry into regenerative design 3. Can built environment biomimicry address climate change? 4. Translating ecosystem processes into built environment design 5. Emulating ecosystem services in architectural and urban design: Ecosystem Services Analysis 6. Applying Ecosystem Services biomimicry to urban contexts: City Case studies (Wellington, Havana, Curitiba) 7. A wider context, reflection and evolution

Taylor & Francis Ltd Applied Urban Design
Book SynopsisApplied Urban Design combines ''why'' we design and ''who'' we design for, with ''how'' we design, by providing the reader with a comprehensive and accessible bespoke framework for both understanding and practicing urban design in a contextually responsive manner from appraisal to design delivery. The framework is presented across four distinct steps, covering analysis at strategic and local scales; the urban design program; design development; and technical design. The authors unpack the functional blueprints, liveable qualities, contextual dynamics, and technical components of quality urban design, identifying the role of urban designers in shaping spaces and places across differing local contexts through a responsive and multiscalar approach. International best practice examples and two original live' case studies in Aalborg, Denmark and Manchester, UK demonstrate the application of the framework across differing scales and contexts each support
