| 概要 |
Essential reading for students and practitioners of urban design, this Reader draws together the key works that have provided the foundations for the place-making view of urban design. The collection ...ntroduces six key dimensions of urban design and supplements these with discussions of what urban design means and how it is implemented. Compiled and edited by two of the authors of the best selling Public Places - Urban Spaces, the Reader includes a wide range of contemporary and classic texts in urban design. Many essays are crucial distillations of key areas of urban design knowledge, while others debate the theories behind a range of urban design concepts. A number - including works by Jan Gehl, Jane Jacobs, Kevin Lynch, Gordon Cullen and many others - are referred to time and time again by urban designers and are a constant source of guidance. The essays are organised thematically and presented substantially in their original form. The Urban Design Reader offers not just an insight into the theory and practice of urban design using the work of some of the most influential writers of the last fifty years, but an inspiration to explore deeper and further.
