About this title

Synopsis

The Science of City Design provides the perspective, format, vocabulary, language, measurement, and forecasting ability to shelter the activities of growing human populations within a limited Built Domain that protects their quality and source of life – The Natural Domain. Our challenge is to visualize, measure, predict, and establish a sustainable relationship between the cities we build to shelter activity and the source of life we consume in the process. The Plant and Animal kingdoms of Linnaeus have been superseded by two worlds on a single planet - The Built and Natural Domains. This book introduces a new language of design categories, specification values, architectural algorithms, master equations, shelter capacity predictions, and intensity calculations that can be used to discuss the issue and define leadership alternatives in terms that can repeat success without duplicating physical composition, context, and appearance.
