ABSTRACT
Through the medium of contemporary public space, this chapter explores one attempt to understand the process of urban design in a holistic manner, by examining the historical and contemporary context for public space creation and the entire process of space generation and regeneration in London. The research adopted a mixed method approach focused on a single city case study. The chapter discusses the use and utility of mixing methods, before illustrating this with the London research and the theory of urban design process to which the work ultimately gave rise.
