About the Book

The era of large-scale urban planning is over. Urhahn Urban Design heralds another practice. Small-scale make-ability combined with Dutch entrepreneurial skill: that is the basic principle. The authors argue in favor of local resourcefulness, flexibility, and openness. It's all about the user: the spontaneous city is the result of supply and demand.


About the Author: Gert Urhahn: Gert Urhahn founded Urhahn Urban Design in 1991 and developed it into a renowned and innovative urban design practice with a broad international portfolio. Gert is particularly experienced in formulating innovative renewal strategies for harbour and waterfront related projects. He is specialized in complex assignments where various stakeholders are together aiming to find a sound and tailor-made solution, as a senior designer or as supervisor. He has published extensively on regeneration strategies, housing and mixed use typologies. Previously, Gert was Senior Urban Designer for the Municipality of Amsterdam. Between 1985 and 1990 he initiated and supervised a number of major renewal and housing projects, as well as the redevelopment of the IJ river waterfronts in Amsterdam. Gert uses his experience in the field as a passionate lecturer and workshop leader on urban design, the re-thinking of port cities, best city practices, and complex urban environments. Gert is a member of the International Federation for Housing and Planning (IFHP) and of the advisory body of the Amsterdam council (ARS). Gert has worked throughout Europe. His UK Experience includes the urban design for the Bedford Station Quarter, South London Town Centre Intensification Study, Industry in the City (a typological study for intensification and functional mix in industrial areas), Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth Masterplan, North London Town Centre Enhancement and London Wembley (a regeneration feasibility study).
