Смерть и жизнь больших американских городов Джейн Джекобс
ISBN: 978-5-98379-185-5 Год издания: 2015 Издательство: Новое издательство Язык: Русский РазвернутьСамая влиятельная книга в истории урбанистики написана не архитектором или градостроителем, а журналистом и городским активистом - патриот Гринвич-Виллидж, Джейн Джекобе зарабатывала статьями об архитектуре и боролась против новой застройки Манхэттена. В "Смерти и жизни больших американских городов" были впервые сформулированы аргументы против городского планирования, руководствующегося абстрактными идеями и игнорирующего повседневную жизнь горожан. По мнению Джекобе, живой и разнообразный город, основанный на спонтанном порядке и различных механизмах саморегулирования, куда более пригоден для жизни, чем реализация любой градостроительной…

ISBN: 978-0306807657 Год издания: 1997 Издательство: Da Capo Press РазвернутьFrederick Law Olmsted (1822–1903) designed New York City's Central Park, Brooklyn's Prospect Park, Chicago's South Park and Jackson Park, Montreal's Mount Royal Park, the park systems of Boston and Buffalo, and many others.

The Image of the City Kevin Lynch
ISBN: 9780262620017 Год издания: 1960 Издательство: MIT Press Язык: Английский What does the city's form actually mean to the people who live there? What can the city planner do to make the city's image more vivid and memorable to the city dweller? To answer these questions, Mr. Lynch, supported by studies of Los Angeles, Boston, and Jersey City, formulates a new criterion — imageability — and shows its potential value as a guide for the building and rebuilding of cities. The wide scope of this study leads to an original and vital method for the evaluation of city form. The architect, the planner, and certainly the city dweller will all want to read this book.
