Features: 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 designing and constructing 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 the exploration of 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, walls of streets and squares, corners, roofs, and skylines.
