Urbanism

The urban design is more than just the instructions for how to build a city; it is the genome for the community which evolves within that built environment, and how that community interacts with the entirety of its world.

Further, the planning process must take into account the already existing environment; be it woodlands or a socio-economically depressed neighborhood. The existing structures and inhabitants must be considered in all stages of the project. At times, they must even be the goal.
