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 whole. Urban design primarily focuses on designing and constructing public spaces in cities, towns, and smaller communities within urban areas. This book mainly elaborates on the role and significance of some key elements in urban design, examines the layout methods of buildings, while considering both internal and external spaces, and deduces the concept of a built environment's overall type, particularly emphasizing the form and function of streets and squares.
