5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for Urban Designers, 21 Sep 2007
By M. Chang - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent resource for urban designers or aspiring urban design or town planning students who wish to know what is best and considered professionally acceptable in the profession in terms of presentation.

It consists of advice, what to do and what not to do, as well as graphic examples from case studies to illustrate what is done in practice. It gives an excellent clear structure of presentation methods and outcomes, which is always useful for those needing guidance.

In summary - excellent example graphics, excellent industry advice. The bottom line - clear, concise and no BS presentation is always best. Knowing how to use AUTOCAD might help as well.
