Review

'Marshall's contribution is the opening of a systematic exploration of network structures and the development of a number of new approaches to deal with the problems implied. I am sure that his book will become a key reference in the literature on urban and transport network form.' - DISP 2005

'A thoughtful and significant contribution to the growing body of formal knowledge on our urban realm ... An entirely worthwhile study.' - Trenton Oldfield, Civic Focus, Winter 2005/06

'This is one of the most exciting books the reviewers have read this year ... [it] would be of the most interest to students and researchers ... as well as to practitioners who are looking for a useful guideline for better urban design.' - Transport Reviews

Product Description
This book sets out a series of concepts of street structure, offering a framework for design of street networks and addressing issues of sustainable transport and urbanism.

4.0 out of 5 stars Streets and Patterns, 5 Feb 2009

By	E. Ward "'emmagleb'" (Portsmouth, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Firstly, this book is exceptionally expensve for what it is, which is where it looses a star. At 8 inches square and only 300 pages, it doesn't immeditely present value for money (when based on a pages per pound ratio). Well, thats my initial response over with...

On opening the book I became immediately aware that this contained a wealth and astonishing depth of information on the topic. The book has clutched onto the idea of "how to create better urban spaces without compromising the basic functionality of circulation and access" and is organised like a dissertation or analytical piece of research, with a clear beginning, middle and end. This gives a better structure to the arguments and discussions, and allows you to dip in and out of the relevant bits.

I will admit that I haven't read it cover to cover; just the bits that were relevant to my work, but I will definitely be finishing this one when I have the time. It is a thoroughly engaging and informative piece of writing, and should be a key text in architecture or urban planning. Even if you're not working in urban design, the street patterns, heirachical structures and through provoking discussions can be applied to so many designs and scenarios.... The possibilities that this book opens are incredible.

I just wish it hadn't cost me the same as a weekly food shop!
