The value added by better urban design has for some time been contested. Nevertheless, the benefits of identifying a linkage between better urban design and enhanced economic value, as well as social and environmental value, are potentially significant. This article reports on one part of a recent research study that attempted to explore this linkage. It examines a review of stakeholder views on value and urban design on the basis of six case studies of varying urban design quality. The research method and case studies are brie�y outlined, before the detailed views of key takeholders-investors, developers, designers, occupiers, local authorities and everyday users-are presented and conclusions drawn. A key finding is that the bene.ts of better urban design are increasingly acknowledged across all key stakeholder groups, albeit in different ways and forms.
