About This Item
Island Press, September 2016. Oversize Softcover . Very Good. <b>One of <i>Planetizen's </i>Top Planning Books for 2017 <b>- <i>San Francisco Chronicle's </i>2016 Holiday Books Gift Guide Pick</b></b><br /><br /> What makes a great city? City planner and architect Alexander Garvin set out to answer this question by observing cities, largely in North America and Europe, with special attention to Paris, London, New York, and Vienna.<br /><br /> For Garvin, greatness is about what people who shape cities can do to make a city great. A great city is a dynamic, constantly changing place that residents and their leaders can reshape to satisfy their demands. Most importantly, it is about the interplay between people and public realm, and how they have interacted throughout history to create great cities.<br /><br /><i>What Makes a Great City</i> will help readers understand that any city can be changed for the better and inspire entrepreneurs, public officials, and city residents to do it themselves.
