“First we shape the cities – then they shape us.” – Jan Gehl
“By far the greatest and most admirable form of wisdom is that needed to plan and beautify cities and human communities.” - Socrates
“The recovery of sprawl to vibrant places is literally our generation’s greatest challenge.” - Steve Mouzon, architect and new urbanist O ur living spaces define not only the way in which we live, but also who we are – which goes some way to explaining the importance of designing these spaces well. In the 21st century, urban design has taken on more importance than ever, and as the world expands into the outdoors, we are seeing the design of our spaces in new light. Truly effective urban planning is innovation in practice – creating spaces that not only accommodate our growing global population but also entertain, enlighten and enliven our communities, and will do so for years to come.
