The Geospatial Dimension in Urban Design

Emily Talen

Journal of Urban Design, 2011, vol. 16, issue 1, 127-149

Abstract: There is a growing interest in the creative merger of geography and urban design. This is driven, in part, by a renewed openness to connecting design to social, environmental and other related goals via geospatial analysis. This paper explains how the design-geospatial connection is made and what it means for the achievement of social and other goals. Through five examples, the paper shows how the geospatial dimension—the analysis of what is where—can be an essential part of the urban design process. The five examples provide practical applications of how these linkages could be appropriately structured.
