Design Governance focuses on how we design the built environment where most of us live, work and play and the role of government in that process. To do so it draws upon the experience of CABE (the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment), a decade long globally unique experiment in the governance of design. The book theorises design governance as an arm and aspiration of the state; tells the story of CABE, warts and all, and what came before and after; unpacks CABE s informal toolbox: its methods and processes of design governance; and reflects on the effectiveness and legitimacy of design as a tool of modern day government. The result is a new set of concepts through which to understand the governance of design as a distinct and important sub-field of urban design.", Reshaping Design Governanceis a thorough introduction to, and in-depth analysis of the work of the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) and its programmes, practices and influence. Authored by leading experts in the fields of urban design and planning, it is designed specifically for design practitioners and those in related fields of public policy and urban governance. CABE fronted a national drive in England for better design in the built environment and was an attempt to address questions of design through systematic government action. The commission campaigned for, researched and prescribed solutions to the delivery of better architectural, urban and public space design. Through in depth analysis of the commission, Reshaping Design Governance : Tells the story of CABE, from its policy beginnings through its successes and failures Unpacks CABE's extensive toolbox, its methods and processes Re-evaluates design governance as an arm and aspiration of public policy Reshaping Design Governance illuminates larger, fundamental questions about the role, nature and legitimacy of design as a public policy tool, and asks whether, how and to what degree the state should engage in such concerns.It is a must-have purchase for professionals in design, public policy and urban governance fields.
