Carfax Publishing Limited are very proud to announce that Journal of Urban Design has been Highly Commended in the Charlesworth Awards for typographical excellence. A presentation was made at the annual meeting of the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers in London at the beginning of April 1997. The journal was the best single column entry and for its first year of publication this was an impressive performance. The typography was commended as being clean and well-spaced and the cover was described as enticing and effective. The Journal of Urban Design is a scholarly international journal which advances theory, research and practice in urban design. There is a growing recognition of the need for urban design in shaping, managing and improving the quality of the urban environment. It is now considered one of the core knowledge components of planning education and practice and is equally important for architectural education and practice. Thus, increasing numbers of architects, planners, surveyors, landscape architects and other professions concerned with the quality of urban development are specialising in urban design. The Journal of Urban Design provides a new forum to bring together those contributing to this re-emerging discipline and enables researchers, scholars, practitioners and students to explore its many dimensions. The Journal publishes original articles in specialised areas such as urban aesthetics and townscape; urban structure and form; sustainable development; urban history, preservation and conservation; urban regeneration; local and regional identity; design control and guidance; property development; practice and implementation.Journal of Urban Design
