As being part of the wider structure of comprehensive planning, urban design alluded to the process of Survey-Analysis-Plan which was the forerunner to the rational decision model articulated by the founding fathers such as Patrick Geddes (1914, 1949), Designs were to be served by a sophisticated public transport system Urban renewal, slum clearance, and new housing took centre stage Modern designers attempted to assimilate the massive technological and societal changes that so affected life at that time Thus, it can be said that mainstream urban design was resurrected in the modern age.

In particular, the exponential growth in scientific studies linking aspects of design quality with aspects of value economic, social, environmental and heath has lead to the concept of place value which has become a further underpinning concept throughout the book, including in this, the final chapter.

This refers to the ease with which people can understand the layout of a given environment and the kind of opportunities it offers. The neo-liberal hegemony of market / state relations within which urban design, typically, operates has also remained largely the same, interrupted and influenced (if not fundamentally changed) in the early years of the decade by the financial crisis and associated austerity, and latterly by the health and economic crises associated with covid, the full impact of which remains unknown.
