Principles of Urban Design


1.       Design for All
Urban design should involve people, local communities and those likely to move in

2.       Create places for people
For places to be well-used and well-loved, they must be safe, comfortable, varied and attractive. Vibrant places offers opportunities for meeting people.

3.       Conserve heritage
New developments should conserve monuments, groups of buildings, or sites of cultural importance and natural features.

4.       Enrich the existing
New developments should enrich and complement existing places.

5.       Make connections
Places need to be accessible and integrated with their surroundings.

6.       Work with nature
Places must balance the nature and the man-made environment

7.       Mix uses and forms
Stimulating enjoyable and convenient places

8.       Manage the investment
For projects to be well cared of, they must be economically viable, well managed and maintained

9.       Design for change
New developments needs to be flexible enough to respond to future changes in use.
