Urban design is currently confronted with a diverse range of challenges. This book establishes a connection between these challenges and projects within the field by utilizing 12 key terms. It introduces concepts, presents potential solutions, and outlines implementation processes. A notable emphasis is placed on the interplay between the built environment and living systems, a perspective that is gradually gaining acceptance within the urban design community and shifting the focus away from a primarily building-oriented approach towards a greater appreciation of public spaces.

Basics of Urbanism provides a comprehensive definition and visual representation of urban design parameters, adopting a clearly territorial approach. The space between buildings is recognized as a vital structure for fostering environmental and social change within small-scale neighborhoods, blocks, districts, and even entire cities. This approach encompasses innovative temporal aspects as well as the strategic utilization of existing resources in the creation of new spatial qualities.

The book is available in both English and German, making it accessible to a broad international audience.
