UDES INDIA

URBAN DESIGN emerged sometime in the 1960s. Post war, rampant urban development across the world found almost everywhere looking like everywhere else - banal, monotonous, humdrum.The need for attractive, identifiable, memorable urban space evoking a sense of place became strikingly visible. Thus the field was born out of a quest for quality of the urban environment.This quest continues to date in responding, refining and regulating urban environs that have both functional and aesthetic appeal to those who inhabit it. Urban Design is an Attitude which nurtures the collective spirit of looking beyond the individual to the public.Whereas Urban Design as a Profession believes in the principle of the Second Architect recognizing and engaging with the work done before. It creates an informed position and pushes developmental objectives from the perspective of that position.
