Features: Series of Urban Design from Abroad. Urban design is closely related to both architecture and planning, yet it is also a relatively independent field. It is an art that organizes buildings into a unified composition. Urban design primarily focuses on the design and construction of public spaces in cities, towns, and smaller communities within urban areas. This book conducts an in-depth study of the decorative elements of public spaces. Based on discussions on the design and layout of three-dimensional decorative elements in streets and squares, it summarizes the fundamental principles of decorative elements such as the ground, street square walls, corners, roofs, and skylines.
