Description

City-making is an art rather than a rigid formula. This book explores how the skills needed to re-enchant our urban environments extend far beyond traditional architecture, engineering, and land-use planning. Instead of offering a simplistic ten-point plan, this work provides strong principles to guide the process of creating better urban spaces. Moving away from the idea of cities that exist merely 'in' the world, this text proposes a vision for 21st-century cities that are built 'for' the world. This subtle shift provides an ethical foundation and a value base for urban development. By focusing on this change in perspective, cities can become places of solidarity where the relationships between individuals and their surroundings are strengthened. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the landscape and the future of urban design.
