Temporal Urban Design: Temporality Rhythm and Place examines an alternative design approach focusing on the temporal aesthetics of urban places and the importance of the sense of time and rhythm in the urban environment. The book departs from concerns on the acceleration of cities its impact on the urban quality of life and the liveability of urban spaces and questions on what influences the sense of time and how it expresses itself in the urban environment. From here it poses the questions: what time is this place and how do we design for it? It offers a new aesthetic perspective akin to music brings forward the methodological framework of urban place-rhythmanalysis and explores principles and modes of practice towards better temporal design quality in our cities. The book demonstrates that notions of time have long been intrinsic to planning and urban design research agendas and whilst learning from philosophy urban critical theory and both the natural and social sciences debate on time it argues for a shift in perspective towards the design of everyday urban time and place timescapes. Overall the book explores the value of the everyday sense of time and rhythmicity in the urban environment and discusses how urban designers can understand analyse and ultimately play a role in the creation of temporally unique both sensorial and affective places in the city. The book will be of interest to urban planners designers landscape architects and architects as well as urban geographers and all those researching within these disciplines. It will also interest students of planning urban design architecture urban studies and of urban planning and design theory. | Temporal Urban Design Temporality Rhythm and Place
