5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring account of development of a living masterplan, 23 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Alexander's achievement is to show how the development of a masterplan need not produce a fixed, pretty picture of the future, which begins to be out of date as soon as the architect delivers it, but can be the basis of a living process which informs all future development, with mechanisms to encourage and manage the involvement of all involved with the site in growth and change. INSPIRATIONAL!
