It is now a decisive moment for urban design to reflect on its rigour and relevance. This handbook is an attempt to seize this moment for urban design to further develop its theoretical and methodological knowledge base and engage with the question of \"what urban design can be\" with a primary focus on its research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis handbook includes contributions from both established and emerging scholars across the global North and global South to provide a more field-specific entry point by introducing a range of topics and lines of inquiry and discussing how they can be explored with a focus on the related research designs and methods. The specific aim, scope, and structure of this handbook are appealing to a range of audiences interested and\/or involved in shaping places and public spaces. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this book quite distinctive from conventional handbooks on research methods is the way it has been structured in relation to some key research topics and questions in the field of urban design regarding the issues of \u003ci\u003eagency\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eaffordance\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eplace\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003einformality\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eperformance\u003c\/i\u003e.
