"Drawing for Urban Design" explores a range of ways to represent the city, from freehand sketching to the sophisticated interactive computer model of the city of the future. There are many ways to engage with images of the city by exploring and considering what exists as well as imagining future ideas for the development of the city. Many professionals need to describe city environments in the course of their work. This can be done through maps, sketches, computer renderings or models. This book provides an introduction to these techniques while explaining the processes associated with describing and designing urban environments. Following a brief introduction the book is divided into five parts. Chapter one traces the historical context of urban design. Chapter two explores traditional and contemporary methods of drawing and representing cities. Chapter three introduces and describes a range of tools and techniques for analyzing and mapping cities and urban spaces. Chapter four deals with the imagined city of the future and the virtual city, and chapter five showcases eight masterplanning projects from around the world by internationally renowned architects, ranging from the regeneration of a historic environment to the creation of an entirely new city. This book is illustrated throughout with examples of representations of the city created using a range of techniques, from simple freehand pencil sketches through to the most complex CAD visualizations and computer mapping techniques. This book will provide the architecture and urban planning student with an invaluable visual grammar for representing the contemporary city.

Nice to look at, annoying to read

This book presents a great variety of examples of ways to represent the city. However, I'm only on chapter two (which I was assigned to "read") and the text is mind-boggling. The paragraphs seem to be in completely random order. Here are the topics of five consecutive paragraphs, each only 2-3 sentences long:
1. Sketches can be drawn from different viewpoints and you can include plans or sections.
2. You should study the context of the urban environment (nothing about how this relates to drawings).
3. You can draw different spaces in the city and compare them.
4. You can use different media for different effects.
5. You can write notes on the drawing (this was stated three pages ago, and the graphic examples were four pages ago and are not referenced here).
The book repeats itself and sometimes it is not apparent how the text relates to the attendant drawings. It reminds me of when I used to review people's papers when I was an undergrad, and they were completely baffled when I asked them to make an outline of what they wrote.
Do not buy this book if you like coherence or plan on actually reading the text.
