Shanghai is one of 17 cities worldwide that recently hosted a walking tour focused on outdoor urban spaces, organized by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH). The outdoor spaces that participants visited were selected based on their relationship with the buildings that shape them. The September “warm weather” tours followed a similar event this past January during the winter weather. The topics of better urban design and more efficient use of outdoor spaces surrounding tall buildings are particularly relevant to CTBUH and its http://www.ctbuh.org/tabid/6686/language/en-US/Default.aspx?group=20Urban Habitat/Urban Design Committee. In 2016, the committee will publish a technical guide for the design and development of urban public spaces.
