Zusammenfassung:Nearly everything we treasure in the world's most beautiful cities was built over a century ago. Cities draw visitors because of their exquisite architecture, walkable neighborhoods, and human scale. Yet a great deal of the knowledge and practice behind successful city planning has been abandoned over the last hundred years--not because of traffic, population growth, or other practical hurdles, but because of ill-considered theories. An accomplished architect and urbanist goes back to the roots of what makes cities attractive and livable, demonstrating how we can restore function and beauty to our urban spaces for the long term.--
