| | 3 Implementation |
 The entire process is done in order to get to this point. Make it all worth while.

Implementation is the final stage of the urban design process; its the reason why we do the rest of the process - to create to a high quality vision that becomes reality. In the end, the true goal is that the product of the design process will be implemented as the built environment. There are a number of different forms that implementation can manifest as so that this goal can be achieved or guaranteed. Some examples are: urbanist codes, building typologies, concept street diagrams, or site plans.

Urban Design Centers
| The design of urban space makes the difference between a vibrant Main Street and a dead strip mall, and cities are finding that the cost of even a small staff devoted to the design of the public realm will have an exponentially profound effect on the success of land planning and economic development. This has lead to a rise in the number of Design Centers which work in cooperation with city planning offices and economic development corporations, often developed as a sub-office of the latter. |
