1. What is Urban Design?
U
R
Urban design is the making of better places B
for people. A
N
It is usually done at a scale larger than a
building, and usually with multiple groups D
E
involved. S
It is an overlapping specialty within I
G
architecture, landscape architecture, and N
planning.
It tries to balance many considerations:
physical form, functional needs, social
issues, economic issues, community
values, environmental sustainability.
Urban Design in Minneapolis

R
In Minneapolis, urban design can create B
long-term value, livability, and efficiency A
N
by coordinating investments in areas such
as: D
E
•• Districts around new transit lines S
I
•• Commercial corridors G
N
•• Community corridors
•• Neighborhood centers

STREETS E
M
E
N
Streets are the connections between T
spaces and places, as well as S
being spaces themselves.
They are defined by their physical O
dimension and character as well F
as the size, scale, and character
of the buildings that line them. U

The pattern of the street

TRANSPORT E
M
E
N
Transport systems connect T
the parts of cities and help S
shape them, and enable
movement throughout the O
city. They include road, F
rail, bicycle, and
pedestrian networks, and U
together form the total R
movement system of a B
city. A

The landscape helps define S
the character and beauty of I
a city and creates soft, G
N
contrasting spaces and
elements.

• If you have limited space you should consider constructing a D
wall, canopy or awning sign. If the site is large enough to E
construct a monument sign you should do so in addition to S
wall, canopy or awning signs. I
G
• N
• Architecturally integrate all signs with their surroundings in
terms of size, shape, color, texture and lighting so that they
are complementary to the overall design of the building and
are not in visual competition with other signs in the area.

Lighting M
E
N
Lighting is an important T
element in Urban Design. S
When considering a O
lighting design, one must F
take into account the
type of light needed for U
the specific purpose of R
the site. B
A
N
D
E
•Is the light designed to enhance security to the S
I
property, provide ambiance, aid drivers by G
N
increasing visibility on roadways, or used
simply to illuminate a sign?
•Consult the UDC to determine the proper lighting
D
A parking plan should be developed for each site E
prior to development (consult the UDC). The type S
I
and number of parking spaces should reflect the G
desired uses of each site. N
Landscaping of parking areas is also recommended
to provide shade, enhance the beauty of a site,
and allow for a reduction in storm-water runoff.

When considering the placement of service
D
areas one should remember the old maxim, E
“out of sight, out of mind.” Service areas S
should be oriented towards the rear of the I
G
building to minimize visual eyesores. N
In addition service areas should be screened
from public view, and the best way to do this
is to build a solid fence around the service
area in the same style as the building to

DISTRICT CENTRES
•A District Centre has been
envisaged as a focal point of a
district with the population of
about 5 – 6 lakhs.
•The components like retail, office,
cultural complex and residential
could be more easily integrated in
the same building space or area
through landscape and circulation.
• Road and
nt settlements Areas along entry routes Rail , MRTS
and other important corridors ,
routes in Delhi entries , and
terminals .
2. Visual Integration
Delhi has a tremendous diversity of built form, color, scale
and texture with a heterogeneous end product from
aesthetic point of view.
The important mass movement corridors i.e., Ring road/Outer
ring road and major radials are used by city dwellers for
internal city commuting.
These movement corridors along with newly introduced MRTS
corridors have potential to acquire an additional dimension
of visual quality and integration.
Other important elements for the integration of different parts
of the city, planned at different times are
(i) Flora i.e. tree plantation continuance of ‘New Delhi
character’ to other parts of the metropolis and linking open
space
(ii) Harmonious treatment for major ecological features i.e.
the Ridge and the River Yamuna.

MRTS CORRIDOR
In prior master plans, city structure was thought in terms of
hierarchies with CBD, District Center and Community
Centers in descending order of importance. But with due
course of development and introduction of MRTS, need is
felt to connect these scattered districts with more
imaginable components. These components with enhanced
built up areas and activities form a network by which the
experience of various district and commercial centers
becomes a part of continued experience.

pedestrian facilities.

from footpaths.
