Abstract Details

2004, BUP/MCP, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Community Planning.
This thesis examines the tools of urban design by public planners. Urban design policy, review, and regulation are explored in detail. The study uncovered a wide body of literature, which was in many respects confusing and contradictory in regard to implementing urban design by planning officials. George Varkki’s pointed criticism describing the lack of a definition of urban design offers a workable theoretical framework for analysis. Varkki offers an alternative definition of urban design which relies on the processes and techniques of professional practice. This theoretical paradigm was developed to analyze the effectiveness of the literature and examine case study findings of current practice in Minneapolis, MN. This study, confirms Varkki’s argument and advocates for increased attention of scholarly research to be focused on the procedural elements of urban design.
