Orlando’s
approach to Urban Design is to view the city as a picture of many
shapes, textures and colors. Architectural materials and forms,
public art, lakes, parks, views and roadways are just a few of the
components that compose this picture.
Within
this context, the Urban Design Division’s mission is to
encourage sustainable development, protect existing neighborhoods
and support the economic health of our community. This mission is
balanced with preserving and enhancing the physical form of the
city by assessing the context of the built environment to the
natural environment, the organization and appearance of buildings,
and the use of public places.
