Description
City Planning: A Very Short Introduction explores the complex practice and profession of shaping cities as physical spaces and social environments. This book delves into eight key aspects of city planning, including street layout, congestion, and the conservation of older districts.
The underlying assumption is that decisions about cities today are a continuation of past efforts to solve fundamental problems that have evolved over multiple generations. By examining these historical approaches, Carl Abbott sheds light on how technical tools can be used to achieve community-set goals and political debate outcomes.
