Abstract
This research explores the relationship between urban design and the creation of socially and economically sustainable communities. Facilitated by the use of an analytical matrix, it considers the impact urban design can play on a set of sustainability indicators. This Report discusses these relationships in the context of a specific case study - Park Central in Birmingham. Set within recent literature, this Report considers how the failures of the modernist era have informed thinking in urban design and sustainability in the twenty first century. In light of extensive reading and local research, this research suggests that urban design should be an important consideration in regeneration projects from their conception to their completion.
