Research Methods in Urban Design: A Framework for Researching the Performance and Resilience of Places †.

Research Methods in Urban Design: A Framework for Researching the Performance and Resilience of Places † Urban design is, by nature, an interdisciplinary activity, and the challenges of cross-disciplinary design research can inform any design process positively. In the context of urban design, it is common for design research studios to be devoted to an in-depth investigation of a defined design research project of the student's conception through an iterative structured methodology common in most graduate programmes. The growing role and importance of research in the field of urban design have been widely acknowledged [[2], [4], [6]] (Hensel & Nilsson, 2016; Lucas, 2016; Aksamija, 2021; Lehmann, 2021, 155f), and the strategic use of research in the urban design process will most likely lead to more effective and better-performing design solutions.
