Analysis gives us an awareness of the spatial context within which design can take place and helps us to fully understand the urban environment.
Characteristics may be tangible and quantifiable such as land use distribution, various environmental and socio-economic qualities, urban morphology, density, and so on, or may be intangible and relate to issues such as aesthetics, behaviour or perceptions. The results of the analysis are likely to summarise both site-specific data and that gathered from desktop research.
Once data has been gathered, it is necessary to interpret it to determine what it tells us. Data gathering should be robust, but the critical task is to articulate what it means in order that it can fully inform later design solutions.
