Description

"Everyday space can be spirited, spontaneous, vital, and inclusive; all too often it is neglected by its inhabitants, ignored by city planners, and disregarded by critics. The essays collected in Everyday Urbanism offer both an analysis of and a method for working within the city in a volume that, in its multiple voices and evocative illustrations, itself mirrors the space of the everyday."--BOOK JACKET. "The first section of the book, "Looking at the City," examines late-twentieth-century urban life: strip malls, edge cities, and rampant suburbanization."--BOOK JACKET. ""Making the City," the second part of the book, challenges the formalism of architecture and the abstraction of planning with projects that address specific topics, problems, and opportunities within the urban environment."--BOOK JACKET.
