ABSTRACT
This chapter will highlight the ongoing implications and application of human factors methods in land-use planning and urban design (LUP & UD). It first considers the past and the ongoing efforts of LUP & UD to elucidate and provide meaning to the complexity of urban and regional development. These are practices that have often not resulted in substantive change but instead have provided reflective and normative descriptions of how we have and should be living, working, and playing. Ideologies and manifestos rather than a strong evidence-base.
