Routledge Urban Environment Essays - New Resources Book

The quality of the environment where people live, work, and play directly impacts quality of life. This Routledge Revivals volume presents a collection of essays originally published in 1969 that examine the urban environment and its influence on human development. Focusing on the experiences of urbanites, the text explores how environments can either provide scope for individual growth or act as a source of irritation and stunting. The scope of these studies extends beyond city centers to the outlying areas where urban dwellers visit and play. This book provides a foundation for understanding the relationship between urban settings and the people who inhabit them.
