Routledge Planning Urban Places - Urban Design and Planning Book

Urban change is a complex process driven by human perception, memory, and identity. Planning Urban Places: Self-Organising Places with People in Mind offers a deep look into how urban design can stay relevant in a constantly shifting environment. Because the idea of place is tied to personal history and individual identity, planners often face challenges when trying to manage urban dynamics. This book from the Routledge Research in Planning and Urban Design series explores the relationship between physical city building and the human experience. It examines how the planning of urban spaces can better connect with how people actually perceive and experience their surroundings. By understanding the connection between concrete urban development and the elusive notions of time and change, this text provides a necessary perspective for those working in architecture, landscape, and urban design.
