Description

The upsurge in interest in public spaces and public life over the past 25 years has generated an impressive array of city plans, public space strategies and designs.

This book presents an overview of this development and provides a detailed description of architecturally interesting and inspiring public space strategies and projects from all over the world.

Nine cities with notable public space strategies were selected for special review; Barcelona, Lyon, Strasbourg, Freiburg and Copenhagen in Europe, Portland in North America, Curitiba and Cordoba in South America and Melbourne in Australia.

In addition, 39 public space projects are presented and discussed. Drawings, plans and photographs illustrate city strategies and public space projects in detail in this splendid book from the Danish Architectural Press.
