Böcker av Professor Matthew Carmona

This book advances an interdisciplinary and innovative approach to urban design, whilst recognising that distinctly different traditions exist within its study and practice. It informs users who are grappling with urban design research problems, but who need the inspiration to move from idea to methodological approach.

The question of how to measure the quality and effectiveness of the output of the planning process is a current major debate. This book deals with issues of defining quality, public sector management, the use of indicators and the planning process.

Urban design as a form of place making has become a significant area of academic endeavour, of public policy, and professional practice. Suitable for students and practitioners of urban design, this collection of essays introduces the 6 dimensions of urban design, including crucial definitions and various understandings of the subject.

This collection examines critically the inherent connection between ideology and the construction of a sense of place in relation to Israel and Zionism, and the central role of the land of Israel in a national-territorial and conflict-related context.
