This book provides a bold vision and roadmap for creating great places. Drawing on international research, illustrated case studies, personal experiences, as well as fascinating examples from history and pop culture, this practical book provides the reader with inspiration, guidance and tools.

The first section outlines six critical theories for contemporary urban design: affordance, prospect-refuge, personal space, sense of place/genius loci, place attachment and biophilic design. The second section, using their innovative ‘theory-storming’ process, demonstrates how designers can create great places that are inclusive, sustainable and salutogenic. Creating Great Places is an insightful, compelling and evidence-based resource for readers who want to design urban environments that inspire, excite and positively transform people’s lives.
