Urban design images help us understand how a place functions, operates and how it could be in the future. The images are not always about the technical quality but more about how well they express information and communicate to the target audience.
The graphical language of urban design has an important role to play in promoting urban quality; creating visions which inspire and motivate; engaging communities and those involved in planning and development; attracting investment; and presenting information objectively and honestly for assessment purposes.
This book is for:
