Product Description
In her groundbreaking 1961 critique of midcentury American urban-renewal policies, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, Jane Jacobs wrote, "It may be that we have become so feckless as a people that we no longer care how things do work, but only what kind of quick, easy outer impression they give. If so, there is little hope for our cities or probably for much else in our society. But I do not think this is so." That book forever changed the way architects and urban planners looked at public space.
This volume aims to safeguard Jacobs' important legacy and to confront it with other authors who have written more recently on the subject of creative cities. Key themes include Spatial Organization, Economic Vitality, Socio-cultural Mobilization and Visual Effects. The editor of this volume, Dany Jacobs, is Professor of Industrial Dynamics and Innovation at the University of Amsterdam.
