Detailed Information
PEP10040 - Form & Space: Town & Countryside (Audit Option) 2016
The operational structure of settlements, together with the spatial relationship between settlements and their hinterland, has become a major preoccupation of modern physical planning. This module introduces urban design, and its relationship with physical planning and placemaking, in the development of towns and their related physical environments, drawing on a range of Irish and international examples. A particular emphasis is placed on current processes of morphological change in the relationship between individual land use, building form and traditional structures of urban layout, in the context of urban design and placemaking.
