Urban Design and People

"This book is a distillation of what Dobbins has learned in the course of his career, aims to help readers - students, teachers, practitioners and everyday citizens - seize urban design's full potential…the content which ranges from historical observations to current advice, public-spirited philosophizing, and nitty-gritty discussions of the physical, economic, social, and organizational aspects of planning - should prove useful to serious students of public-sector urban design."
