In forty new pages of text and color illustrations, Edmund N. Bacon seeks to communicate the forces behind work as a city planner and the processes that result in construction on the ground. "By interpreting the historical background in the context of general concepts of city planning and examining history s relevance to current planning projects as well, the author stimulates our understanding of the deeper forces at work behind the design of a great city. In studying the nature of design, Mr. Bacon suggests how simultaneous movement systems - the paths of movement of pedestrians, automobiles, and public transportation - can influence the growth of city form, and he takes a look at the role of movement systems in cities such as London, Rome, and New York. He stresses the importance of space as opposed trimass, showing the design of space to be equally important as that of buildings, if not more so. Tfii» author s thesis that city design is a people s art leads him to urge that citizens should have a role in the development of the three-dimensional plans in the initial stages of a city-planning project. This provision for democratic feedback or review is also important for the designer, to assure that his plans really meet the needs of the people. That the center of cities should and can be pieasant places in which to live, work, and relax is illustrated in the photographs of such cities as Rotterdam and Stockholm. The author cites the work in his own city of Philadelphia, in which historic buildings worthy of preservation mingle with twentieth-century structures, and where provision is made for both pedestrians and automobiles in the city center. 9780670268627 ISBN 0670268623.
