Diese Einführung in den Städtebau bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die für die praktische Umsetzung städtebaulicher Entwürfe notwendigen Prozesse und erläutert auf prägnante und verständliche Weise Terminologie, Regelwerke, Werkzeuge, Gebäudestrukturen und Ressourcen. Der Autor vermittelt in diesem vollständigen Referenzwerk Grundlagen und Strategien im Städtebau und stellt dieses Fachgebiet als einen Prozess enger Zusammenarbeit zwischen den einzelnen Akteuren dar. Erläutert werden die Ziele und Strategien der Städtebauer aus Sicht der Privatwirtschaft, der öffentlichen Hand und der Bewohner anhand beispielhafter Projekte auf verschiedenen Ebenen - ausgehend von Projekten von regionaler Relevanz bis hin zur Gestaltung einzelner Plätze in der Stadt.
