This trailblazing book outlines an interdisciplinary "process model" for urban design that has been developed and tested over time. Its goal is not to explain how to design a specific city precinct or public space, but to describe useful steps to approach the transformation of urban spaces. Urban Ecological Design illustrates the different stages in which the process is organized, using theories, techniques, images, and case studies. In essence, it presents a "how-to" method to transform the urban landscape that is thoroughly informed by theory and practice.
The authors note that urban design is viewed as an interface between different disciplines. They describe the field as "peacefully overrun, invaded, and occupied" by city planners, architects, engineers, and landscape architects (with developers and politicians frequently joining in). They suggest that environmental concerns demand the consideration of ecology and sustainability issues in urban design. It is, after all, the urban designer who helps to orchestrate human relationships with other living organisms in the built environment.
The overall objective of the book is to reinforce the role of the urban designer as an honest broker and promoter of design processes and as an active agent of social creativity in the production of the public realm.

Urban Ecological Design presents an interdisciplinary method of transforming urban spaces that considers issues of ecology and sustainability alongside urban form. Rather than offer a prescriptive approach, the authors describe a "process model" that has been developed and tested over time. They illustrate the different stages of the design process using theories, techniques, images, and case studies that will inform any urban design project --

CHOICE Review
A compendium of information about urban design strategies, this book by Palazzo (Politecnico di Milano, Italy) and Steiner (School of Architecture, Univ. of Texas) draws on many authoritative sources, and is conveniently organized according to traditional planning processes. These processes form the content of individual chapters, which include information on understanding the prerequisites that frame the process (e.g., assumptions, restrictions, expectations); acquiring knowledge related to the project (e.g., surveys, site visits, data collection/analyses); and synthesizing the knowledge gained through strategies that evaluate opportunities and risks. Chapters also address defining project goals and strategies; identifying means to enrich client participation and buy-in; developing a master plan; and creating a winning presentation of the plan. Each chapter provides extensive information, frequently in the form of bulleted lists; this shapes the book as a form of reference work for consultation, rather than as a narrative that can be read cover to cover. Over 140 charts, tables, and illustrations--some in color--enrich the text. Steiner's recent works include Design for a Vulnerable Planet (CH, Nov'11, 49-1280). Extensive bibliography.
