About the Book

Approach to the problems facing our towns and cities shows clearly how the individual components that make up the built environment matter less than places as whole. The informative book suggests the way forward for professionals, decision-makers and all those who care about the future of our urban environment, revealing to the reader a wealth of thriving examples of successful town planning. Many principles of urban design have stood the test of time and can be applied to making our towns and cities better places in a sensible and economically viable manner. Emphaisizing the importance of understanding why some traditional towns and buildings have proved pleasing and successful, Tibbalds argues that these qualities should be built into new developments which are clearly of their own age yet at the same time 'people-friendly'. Covering the important issues of pedestrian freedom, how to make places clear, easy-to-use and accessible, together with a discussion of building to human scale, Tibbalds suggests that the sought-after quality of 'people-friendliness' can only be achieved through the correct mix of uses and activities. He highlights the need to build developments that will last and adapt, with people controlling the scale and pace of change, and asserts that a clear understanding of how these elements join together is vital to achieve the ideal 'People-Friendly Town'. This new paperback edition of an established classic includes a Foreword by Terry Farrell and an Afterword by Kevin Murray. The Decline of the Public Realm. Places Matter Most. What are the Lessons from the Past. Mixing Uses and Activities. Human Scale. Pedestrian Freedom. Access for All. Making it Clear. Lasting Envi
