Reviews
Every practitioner of everyday urbanism should keep the Urban Design Reader close at hand. It renews inspiration; it offers fresh insights; it clarifies the essential principles of urban design. I see it as the foundation text for all that we do in shaping our cities. It is simply invaluable. Larry Beasley, Distinguished Practice Professor of Planning, SCARP, University of British Columbia, Canada. Selecting a list of key texts in urban design from amongst the host of possibilities available will never be an easy task; but in this carefully chosen selection, Larice and Macdonald balance the foundational classics of the discipline with valuable contemporary contributions that demonstrate the continuing evolution and vitality of urban design. Matthew Carmona, Professor of Planning and Urban Design, The Bartlett Scool, University College London.
