    AESTHETICS
    CONCEPT OF AESTHETICS
     Aesthetics in urban design refers to the
    creative arrangement of the elements of a town in
    a b e a u t i f u l a n d f u n c t i o n a l m a n n e r.

     Attractiveness of the neighborhood


    environment is associated with overall experience
    and use such as walki ng, cycling, vi ewing and
    conversation. If a neighborhood is attractive it
    invites people to use and enjoy its public spaces
    and places and to feel safe in doing so

     When people use community spaces and


    associated assets they feel part of a community
    and develop a sense of place. These two elements
    are important in promoting wellbeing as they can

    of towns and cities in achieving the objectives of
    sustainability and a better quality of life. The design
    and layout of a community are fundamental
    determinants of urban form and settlement patterns
    because they:

     set the urban character and design of an area;

     allow or inhibit social interaction and thereby


    i n fl u e n c e s t h e l i k e l i h o o d o f c o m m u n i t y f o r m a t i o n ; o r
    reduces it by encouraging the non-motor vehicle
    modes of walking,

     force motor vehicle dependence ycling, and public


    transport;

     give or deny access to facilities for all users of


    the urban environment;

     provide or prevent opportunities for locally based


    business and employment; and,

     conserve or degrade essential natural resources


    and ecological.
