DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:* This paper will examine how urban design might be 
 defined\, and how the current confusion of architectural and elemental app
 roaches might be reformed as theorists develop the\ncapacity to look direc
 tly at relationships between people and the city. Given that our relations
 hips with built environments have a specific reality\, the paper will expl
 ore how that reality might be\nunderstood in terms of configurations of ur
 ban space and fabric\, and associated human functions relating to simple u
 se\, perception\, and the conceptual responses through which we distil\nme
 aning.\n\n*Biography:* Patrick Malone holds degrees in Architecture (Archi
 tectural Association)\, Urban Studies (University of Sussex) and a Ph.D. f
 rom the Department of Geography\, Trinity College Dublin. He has worked as
  an architect\, and as an academic in Architecture and Urban Design. He wa
 s director of a masters course in Urban\nDesign at the University of Manch
 ester\, and currently runs Arcitalia\, a company dedicated to the renovati
 on of old\nand abandoned buildings\, and the generation of investment in t
 owns and hill villages in the hinterland behind\nImperia\, Italy.
