Spanish term

urbanismo y planificación urbana

Spanish to English Social Sciences Architecture
Estoy traduciendo un título y unas notas de una urbanista. Hasta ahora siempre había traducido urbanismo como urban planning (town planning) y urbanista como urban planner (town planner), pero en las notas hay una materia que incluye tanto "urbanismo" como "planificación urbana".

"Física de las Estructuras
Inglés para Arquitectura y Urbanismo
Teoría e Historia del **Urbanismo y la Planificación Urbana**
Sistemas de Información Geográfica y Urbana
Taller de Urbanismo III"

¿Colocarían "Urbanism" y "Urban Planning" (y urbanista = urbanist)? (o town planning y town planner)

La traducción es para Europa

Muchas gracias por adelantado y feliz domingo a todos

I think they're largely synonyms, but you might as well stick with what the Spanish says.

Why are you and Adrian so obsessed with the UK? There are other countries outside your little green island, you know. And besides, my answer works in any variant of English.

zoning > urban development and town planning

urbanismo: zoning, West, and strikes me - weaned on UK Town and Country Planning - as more US American.
Example sentence:

IATE: es plan de urbanismo COM en town planning map COM *development plan* COM town plan COM town plan map COM comprehensive town planning scheme

Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : I'm not clear what your answer is, partly because I still haven't mastered your unique system of punctuation. But if you're saying it's "zoning", that's "zonificación", and it's wrong. It's also American, as you say.

urban development and planning

This would work for US English readers. It would also be possible to say 'urban development and city planning' -- though I'm not sure all urban development is for areas that classify as cities.

Procurement: Architecture Design and Urbanism Panel
We want to encourage fresh thinking for design and building projects in London. To do this, we work closely with the people and organisations who are building a better London.

One of the ways we support them is by advising on procurement options and design decisions through the Architecture Design and Urbanism Panel.

City Hall is currently in the process of procuring a new replacement framework, the Architecture + Urbanism Framework (A+U). The new framework will support the Mayor’s mission-led approach to the recovery of London and aims to showcase innovation in public sector procurement processes and address the underrepresentation of women and people from minority groups by being more representative of London’s diverse population.

Urbanism is a lens through which to view and interpret the city. Urbanists attempt to understand how economic, political, social, ecological and cultural characteristics of place affect urban form and social life. While the most well-known and codified “formal” urbanism is, of course, the New Urbanism, recent entries to the field range from the environmentally-focused (Ecological, Landscape or Sustainable Urbanism), to the people-centered (Participatory or DIY Urbanism) to the….well, I’m not exactly sure (Bricole, Propagative, Gypsy or Retrofuture Urbanism).

Urban design, on the other hand, moves beyond the study of space; it is the practice of actively shaping the city in a desired fashion. Urban designers improve the livability of cities by translating plans into physical strategies, establishing design criteria for development projects, designing the space between buildings, and arranging public spaces, streets, blocks, neighborhoods and infrastructure in a logical and meaningful way. Good urban designers account for built, human, and natural systems, and are thus inherently interdisciplinary practitioners. The finest urban designers trust their instincts and training but also rely on the best research possible, whether from academic sources or from their own public outreach. In this way, urban design is both art and science, occupying the conceptual space between architecture and urban planning.
