Product Description

Review

'This truly inspirational tour de force takes readers on a tremendous global journey of discovery to put the art back into city-making. All those involved in the future of cities should read this monumental work - your imagination will be freed. Practical guidance combined with visionary insights and challenges weave through every chapter ...' Clive Harridge, President, Royal Town Planning Institute, UK 'Charles Landry has been a long term contributor to 'the art of city-making'. In his new book he provides a clear insight into this lost art and the way forward as our cities must become attractive, sustainable and financially viable living environments.' Professor Rob Adams, Director, Design & Culture, City of Melbourne, Australia 'This book has power and art to evolve Asian and Japanese cities creatively, and it is a bible for people interested in the future of a city.' Dr Masayuki Sasaki, Dean, Professor of Graduate School for Creative Cities, Osaka City University, Japan 'City-making is a difficult art, and Charles Landry has captured its essence. His world view is valuable to people everywhere who care about cities. All of his books sit highlighted and dog-eared near my desk, and this one will be no exception.' Carol Coletta, President, CEOs for Cities, USA, and host and producer of the Smart City radio programme

On how to become a better city 6 May 2008
By J. Klerks - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
If you are looking for a check list or the do's and don'ts on how to become a better city, this book is not for you. In a way Landry is more of an urban psychiatrist who's challenging cities and their inhabitants to make up their own minds on how to become a better urban society. The book is chock full of examples, stories and insights on the matter (hence the size) which a well informed Landry uses to picture the bigger and positive image without being pushy about anything, although the 'being creative' gets a bit repeative after a while. All in all the book is an easy to read and feel good story about cities that want or should want to be a good city.
