Reviews

a well researched and easy-to-read book Building Engineer, August 2007 This is an excellent book which places the importance of including the needs of older people firmly on the urban design agenda. Urban Policy and Research, 25:2, 2007


Burton and Mitchell have produced a well-researched and easy-to-read book, with the text amply supported by photographs and illustrations. Their conclusions challenge the idea that improving the planning and design of streets and outdoor spaces so that everyone can feel safe is difficult and unnecessary. Building Engineer, August 2006 There are some apparently modest books on modest topics that bring within them a profound message beyond their weight. This is such a book. Urban Design, Winter 2007 This is an excellent book which places the importance of including the needs of older people firmly on the urban design agenda. Urban Policy and Research, 25:2, 2007
