Review
'Brilliant! This thoughtful and illuminating book fills a significant gap in urban design literature and is a must-have reference book for anyone concerned with the creation or management of the public realm.' Michele Lavelle, Partner in 4D Landscape Design 'This is a book full of do's and dont's; a manual to help landscape architects and urban planners improve public space; a book that inspires philosophers to consider and develop Shaftoe's message; and a book rich in good practices noted by a traveller and teacher with the hawk-eye of an architect and photographer. ' Tobias Woldendorp, Senior CPTED Consultant at DSP-groep, Amsterdam. 'Henry Shaftoe's comprehensive and accessible book covers both the sociological and psychological aspects of the human occupation of urban space, as well as its physical design aspects, and is a welcome addition to the literature of urban design placemaking.' Joe Holyoak, Course Director, MA Urban Design, Birmingham City University 'Offer(s) unique contributions to the public life conversation, delivering practical, well explored and documented observations about public life and the arenas that support them.' Building Research & Information 'Practical, clearly represented and inspiring' Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers 'Enjoyable and comprehensive, and it offers valuable, applicable suggestions on how to understand public space and how to design vibrant and convivial public spaces.' re:place Magazine
Product Description
Despite developments in urban design during the last few decades, architects, urban planners and designers often continue to produce areas of bland, commercially-led urban fabric that deliver the basic functional requirements of shelter, work and leisure but are socially unsustainable and likely generators of future problems. Convivial Urban Spaces argues that successful urban public spaces are an essential part of a sustainable built environment. Without them we are likely to drift into an increasingly private and polarized society, with all the problems that ensue. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this book draws on new primary research, and the literature and theory of environmental psychology and urban design, to advance our understanding of what makes effective public spaces. The result is a practical and clearly presented guide to urban public space for planners, architects and students of the urban environment.
