In 2003, as President of the Boston Society of Architects, he organized Myth and Reality, the First National Conference on Density to challenge widely-held negative associations about the concept of urban density. In 2008 he received the American Institute of Architects’ Thomas Jefferson Medal for “a lifetime of... significant achievement in creating...livable neighborhoods, vibrant civic spaces, and vital downtowns”. For more than 20 years he led Goody Clancy’s planning and urban design practice, which earned the American Planning Association’s 2013 Firm Award for Excellence in Planning. In 2014, David joined Stantec to initiate a broadly interdisciplinary practice to support communities in meeting the unprecedented opportunities and challenges of this rapidly evolving urban era.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe late \u003cb\u003eOliver Gillham, AIA,\u003c\/b\u003e was an architect and city planner, as well as the founder of Gillham \u0026amp; Gander Associates.

It then moves on to discuss emerging forces shaping urban design such as the recentralization of populations as people move back into cities from suburbs, the emergence of “smart growth” in urban environments, the growing social impacts of economic disparities, the pressure to balance individual and community needs and rights in the public realm, and similar dynamics. Additionally, the book features new discussions of decision-making processes and implementation strategies, resiliency, and expanded coverage of sustainability issues, both local and global. Finally, the book describes current theories of urbanism, including new urbanism and landscape urbanism, before finishing with a discussion of principles, strategies, and process and how these three elements shape urban design for everything from ecodistricts and retrofitted suburban downtowns to New York City’s National 9\/11 Memorial.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis new \u003ci\u003eSecond Edition\u003c\/i\u003e integrates new case studies throughout the text exploring urban projects from Singapore to Caracas to Chicago that illuminate the opportunities and challenges in an unprecedented era of urban design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990439575781,"sku":"NP9781118453636","price":100.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781118453636.jpg?v=1761787835","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/urban-design-for-an-urban-century-isbn-9781118453636","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
