With 20 years of professional experience, HOD Resha Patil understands Urban Designing. Here is how HOD Resha Patil detailed Urban Designing:
Urban design is the process of designing and shaping cities, towns and villages. In contrast to architecture, which focuses on the design of individual buildings, urban design deals with the larger scale of groups of buildings, streets and public spaces, whole neighborhoods and districts, and entire cities, with the goal of making urban areas functional, attractive, and sustainable.
