Two new paperbacks are now published in the Planning, History and Environment series
The Urban Wisdom of Jane Jacobs
Of which the Journal of the American Planning Society said:
A rich collection of essays from a wide range of thoughtful contributors…The breadth and depth of this collection is impressive, including an analysis of Jacobs's eyes-on-the-street framework in the context of crime in the 21st-century built environment. Her principles are also analyzed in the context of such diverse topics and contexts as urban form in medieval China, open and public space in Thailand, and redevelopment in Beirut.
Described in the Journal of Urban History as:
A much-needed succinct history of Hong Kong’s three-dimensional urban form… For designers working on projects in Hong Kong, The Making of Hong Kong may well be the one essential text.
