| Design of Cities: Revised Edition (Penguin Books) by Penguin (Non-Classics) Well designed book |
| A very informative and well designed book. I am currently a grad. student in architecture and the ideas presented in this book are very intriguing. It takes a very practical approach to urban design. If this book were coupled with Jane Jacob's The Death and Life of Great American Cities, one could get two different but relevant viewpoints regarding this very important debate, especially in the wake of Modernism. |
| Design of Cities: Revised Edition (Penguin Books) by Penguin (Non-Classics) The Quintessential book on Urban Design |
| This is my favorite book on urban design....how cities work, history of city design, and the key elements that make a city exciting, livable, and functional. A key insight of Mr. Bacon is the potential for the integration of various movement systems (train, car, pedestrian, etc.), and the vitality possible at the intersections and nodes of those systems. |
| Design of Cities: Revised Edition (Penguin Books) by Penguin (Non-Classics) The most important book for my town-planning practice |
| This book changed the way I looked into the conception of cities. The command of urban spaces, with beatiful examples through history, put me to new design of cities or to renew existing city centers including new perspectives for the citizen or people that just pass by. |
