This section is the gateway to issues and studies associated with the design, planning and development of cities. Various subtopics and approaches are developed in the related issue pages. Here you can find articles and worldwide links to useful online resources discussing the problems faced by contemporary cities and its inhabitants, effects and pressures of globalization on cities, historical and socio-cultural, and economic studies, design methods and principles, case studies and best practices of urban design, renovation and maintenance, When submitting new content to this page, please check the "related issues" that deal with more specified subject matter, AND consider creating a new ISSUE PAGE especially defining the subtopic you want to focus and discuss. You can also relate urban design projects and large scale urban development schemes to this page so that they are showcased and discussed within this context. But in order to start a specific discussion and exemplify this in some buildings, you can create a new ISSUE PAGE, and relate these buildings there. If you compose reasonable issue pages that will not be vetoed by the WA Editorial Board, you can continue to act as an ISSUE EDITOR for these pages.
