Abstract
In the process of urban design, the term dialogue refers to the opportunities for a rapport between the designer and the client as well as between the designer and the public. The term is inspired by Edmund Bacon, who, in Design of Cities (1974), described how Market Street in Philadelphia was transformed. As a participant in the process, Bacon used the word dialogue to describe the complex ways planners and designers present ideas, communicate, receive feedback, and restructure their proposals.
