Urban design requires clear guidance.
A better understanding between different players in the delivery of sustainable environments is needed. The added value of urban design is still not recognised as its worth, even in the light that urban areas with strong identities would become more important as a means of addressing the uncertainties of an age of ever increasing globalisation. Better coordination between the ministries is vital, just as UDAL encourages better coordination and cooperation between the urban professions to produce a better more user friendly urban environment. Only a change of culture can promote urban renaissance realistically in partnership with other stakeholders and the urban professions. It would facilitate a better integration between conservation objectives and new development.
