Better Places to Live - By Design

book cover

Better Places to Live - By Design
This guide aims to promote deeper thought and greater flair from those entrusted with creating better places to live. Following on from By design - a guide to better urban design, this draws together the principles of good urban design as they relate to the residential environment to help move the practice of good design forward. It focuses on the attributes that underlie successful residential environments in order to provide guidance on implementing the new approach to planning for housing set out in Planning Policy Guidance Note 3 (PPG3).
Published for the Department of Transport, Local Government and the Regions and CABE (Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment) by Thomas Telford Publishing, 2001.
