Abstract
- How might innovations in urban design influence urban form? This paper focuses on two types of innovations--identified here as degenerative variations and integrative paradigms--to examine their impact on urban form and to discuss the implications for public policy. The paper begins with a presentation of how degenerative variations collectively generate an undesirable urban form. The paper then illustrates how integrative paradigms are conceived as a response to the problems of development of a particular period and the transformation of urban form. These paradigms are expected to nurture a collective vision and have a positive impact on urban form; however, they are undermined by the realities of development. The paper concludes with a discussion of the policy implications of innovations in urban design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
