Urban Design International

Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal focuses on urban design research and pedagogy, exploring methods for analyzing and shaping urban environments. It examines the impact of redevelopment on children's spatial knowledge, the use of 'thick mapping' for urban design justice, and the assessment of transitional spaces between public and private realms. The scope also includes the integration of digital tools and computational logic in urban design, the consideration of non-anthropocentric actors in planning, and frameworks for evaluating high-density urban environments. Additionally, it addresses the role of design competences in planning education, the evaluation of cultural heritage sites, urban design leadership in different national contexts, the definition and analysis of liminal urban spaces, and the study of coastlines as thresholds for urban edge analysis. The journal also investigates walkability assessments that integrate objective data with participant perceptions.
