Urban Design is a field of architecture and urban planning that focuses on the design of public spaces, such as streets, parks, and plazas. It is concerned with the physical form and function of cities, towns, and villages, and with the social, economic, and ecological processes that shape them. Urban Designers use a variety of tools and techniques to create places that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. These tools include landscape design, urban planning, and architecture. Urban Designers work with a variety of stakeholders, including local governments, developers, and community members, to create places that are both attractive and functional. They strive to create places that are safe, accessible, and enjoyable for all users. Urban Designers also work to ensure that the built environment is sustainable and resilient, taking into account the impacts of climate change and other environmental factors. Some companies in the Urban Design market include Gensler, HOK, Perkins and Will, AECOM, and Stantec. Show Less Read more
