TOWARD AN INTEGRATIVE THEORY OF URBAN DESIGN - ...

This book takes a bold epistemological approach to address the fundamental questions that urban
design has faced since its inception - questions concerning its legitimacy  definition  nature
content  purpose  theory  methods  jurisdiction and above all its knowledge base. The
appropriate level of urban design - global or local - is another critical and emerging question
discussed. At the end  an integrative theory of urban design is introduced  on the basis of
which a set of principles is developed for application by practicing urban designers. These
principles are presented at three essential levels: general  global and local-Iranian. Toward
an Integrative Theory of Urban Design is intended to dispel many of the ambiguities still
troubling urban design as a discipline and profession.
