What is the role of urban design?

Urban design is a process and an outcome of designing physical places where people live. The role of urban design is to be a medium or to create a space where people can easily be attracted and engaged in activities as a society. The design can be a cultural or social identity, which binds people to it, and as a result, gives a sense of togetherness. An urban design must foster social interaction and create a lively environment for the public to enjoy. An urban design aims to create a space where all living beings feel included and welcomed. It must be enduring and enhancing to diversity, comfortable, vibrant, and engaging. The space should be safe, walkable to, and most importantly, responsive to the local context of the place, as that is the point where the public can have a sense of togetherness, something common to connect upon.
