Abstract

Urban design is a collaborative problem solving process in which informed decisions are made using a large variety of analytical techniques. A conceptual framework for identifying and analyzing threats and opportunities in the external environment of the system, the SWOT matrix has been increasingly employed in urban design practice to analyze the situation involved and to set strategy, initially in the private sector but recently in the public sector as well. While this technique has been widely received by professional urban designers over the recent years, the technique itself has not yet been investigated with due deliberation and adequate theoretical depth. This article aims to probe into the technique, to explore its potentials, and to theoretically tailor it so as to be applicable to urban design. In doing so, first a brief background of the technique, its formation and the basic concepts have been discussed followed by a literature review on the application of SWOT analysis in urban design. Having redefined the basic concepts of SWOT analysis within urban design context, a conceptual framework on urban design-oriented SWOT analysis is finally proposed. The research finding indicate that to effectively employ SWOT analysis in urban design context on has to base it on sound theoretical grounds. The study posits that Sustainable Place Model as substantive theory depicting the urban design qualities which need to e addressed and Urban Morphology Theory describing the different aspects of urban form, should be employed simultaneously to establish the theoretical foundation on which an urban design-oriented SWOT analysis model could be formed. The study concludes that a 17 by 20 matrix as elaborated by this article would be an appropriate tool to carry out a SWOT analysis in the urban design process.
