What to know. How to think. Where to start.

Practical and reflective lessons on designing the public realm

In urban design, there's a lot to learn and no one place to begin. Students often find themselves lost between books that are highly academic or overly formulaic, leaving them adrift in their design assignments.

This book is perfect for the student fascinated, and perhaps overwhelmed, by the complexities of urbanism. Thought-provoking, illustrated lessons illuminate such questions as:
• What's the difference between city and urban?
 • How can minor design decisions have major social and economic impacts?
• Why are some trees more urban than others?
• What can the suburban mall teach us about activating urban streets?
• How is drawing badly useful to the design process?

Written by two experienced practitioners and instructors, 101 Things I Learned in Urban Design School suits students of architecture, urban design, urban planning, and urban studies, as well as seasoned practitioners, city and town administrators, and ordinary citizens who wish to better understand their built world.
