Making People-Friendly Towns Improving the Public Environment in Towns and Cities

Making People-Friendly Towns explores the way our towns and cities, particularly their central areas, look and feel to all their users and discusses their design, maintenance and management. Francis Tibbalds provides a new philosophical approach to the problem, suggesting that places as a whole matter much more than the individual components that make up the urban environment such as buildings, roads and parks. This informative book suggests the way forward for professionals, decision-makers and all those who care about the future of our urban environment and points the reader in the direction of a wealth of living examples of successful town planning.Tibbalds, Francis is the author of 'Making People-Friendly Towns Improving the Public Environment in Towns and Cities' with ISBN 9780415237598 and ISBN 0415237599.
