A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A Dallas conference stressed the viability and increasing importance of urban environmental design in solving the problems of our cities. The conference outlined three categories of urban design legislation, in addition to performance standards and environmental impact statements; four types of mechanisms for implementing urban design in local government; seven major deficiencies in urban design research today; three tentative models for describing the urban design field; and three alternative approaches to urban design research. Research needs were suggested in the areas of design administration, design legislation, design issues, and communication and education. In order to be useful, urban environmental design: (1) Must take a holistic approach, continuing in one place over long periods of time; (2) must be carried out as an integral part of projects' organization, implementation, and evaluation; and (3) must be done by those who are part of the project being studied. There is also a great need to improve dissemination of research findings.
