The Process of Urban Design and the Formation of Larger Urban Wholes

Theoretical basis and key assumptions for the process of urban growth, tested initially in the San Francisco Waterfront experimental project in 1979, in which the formation of larger urban wholes was highlighted as an overriding rule. This process was further developed while being used and tested in a series of other large scale and urban projects, with emphasis on the quality of public space as a three-dimensional entity and the sequence of actions which best would generate it.
