Abstract

The key themes of the urban design studio revolve around master planning complex urban sites, in the context of real planning, economic, environmental, social and ecological issues. The theme for the studio this year has been the revitalisation and rendering as coherent, an edge of centre site of some 50 hectares in the west of Oxford City. The sub issues have been to do with creating a believable, and buildable place that is well connected and integrated into its historic and not so historic physical location. It takes on board the ambitions of the local authority to create a vibrant and mixed use, forward looking urban quarter with a distinctive and attractive identity.
