Page "Urban design" Paragraph 29

Modern urban design can be considered as part of the wider discipline of Urban planning.

Indeed, Urban planning began as a movement primarily occupied with matters of urban design.

Works such as Ildefons Cerda's General Theory of Urbanization ( 1867 ), Camillo Sitte ’ s City Planning According to Artistic Principles ( 1889 ), and Robinson ’ s The Improvement of Cities and Towns ( 1901 ) and Modern Civic Art ( 1903 ), all were primarily concerned with urban design, as did the later City Beautiful movement in North America.
