Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of City Planning City planning has experienced rapid growth and change during the past decade and is now occupying an important place in the public eye. Although there have been many reports and magazine articles, as well as books on special phases, there have been few books covering the whole subject. To fill the need for a single volume assembling in readily accessible form the results of various investigations and the latest discussions of important aspects of the subject, this book has been written. This volume is intended to be of service to those who are studying and teaching city planning and to city officials, particularly to members of zoning or planning commissions. At the same time it is hoped that the book may be helpful to the citizen who is interested in the improvement of his village, town, or city, and is desirous of knowing more about this subject. With these objects in mind the author has given special emphasis to the elements and principles of the various branches of city planning while considering also things of such general interest as the scope of the work, its importance, its possibilities, and means of accomplishment. He has tried to treat the subject comprehensively and with due regard for the practical, theoretical, and esthetic factors involved. He has endeavored to go deep enough for practical usefulness and high enough to give the reader a sweep of vision and an exercise of his constructive imagination. New as well as old ideas of planning have had the attention of the author, and the views of leaders in the field, whether conservative, liberal, practical, or visionary, have been presented. Although now and again throughout the text, particularly in those chapters dealing with the historical development of city planning and of housing, the writer has called attention to important developments elsewhere in the world, nevertheless he has endeavored to stress the trends and accomplishments of these movements within the borders of the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Planning of the Modern City: A Review of the Principles Governing City Planning Subjects will be discussed that are not generally considered as falling within the scope of the engineer's activities, but they are all subjects with which one who is responsible for the develop ment of the city plan should be familiar. Perhaps the most important characteristic of any design should be its adaptability to altered conditions. If this be true with respect to a build ing, an industrial plant, a railway or shipping terminal which can be enlarged or replaced or even moved to another location, it is much more important in the case of the ground plan of a city, which cannot be rearranged or transferred to another place. There is no undertaking, therefore, which demands more careful study of what has happened elsewhere, what is likely to happen in a particular place, and the development of tenden cies which are sure to result in changes in the methods of living and conducting business, than the working out of the general plan for a city or for the successive additions to an existing city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern City Planning and Maintenance A movement of the first importance and of great pro portions is taking place among American cities, which while it has not attracted any very marked degree Of attention on the part of the general public, is yet one which will have lasting consequences of the most beneficial character. This movement, the replanning of cities, has only begun to take shape in this country in the last few years, but already great progress has been made, and plans of the most elaborate and magnificent character have been proposed. The subject is one which is of such importance in the social, aesthetic and practical betterment of cities, that it is of vital interest not only to the city administrator, the engineer and the architect, but also to every citizen who has the advancement of his city's welfare at heart. One of the reasons which has retarded public interest in city planning lies in the fact that there is to be had very little information on the subject in a form generally available. While a considerable literature exists in French and Ger man, principally in German, there is but little in English and what there is consists principally of a few books published of late years in England, having in view the object of adapting German practice to English conditions. The purpose of this volume is to present, in a concise and comprehensive form, the principles of the art of city planning as they have been developed in modern times. The covering of the subject in such a way in a single volume has not before been attempted, so that nowhere else is to be found-the summarization of principles and practice as here presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An accomplished architect and urbanist goes back to the roots of what makes cities attractive and livable, demonstrating how we can restore function and beauty to our urban spaces for the long term. Nearly everything we treasure in the worldÕs most beautiful cities was built over a century ago. Cities like Prague, Paris, and Lisbon draw millions of visitors from around the world because of their exquisite architecture, walkable neighborhoods, and human scale. Yet a great deal of the knowledge and practice behind successful city planning has been abandoned over the last hundred yearsÑnot because of traffic, population growth, or other practical hurdles, but because of ill-considered theories emerging from Modernism and reactions to it. The errors of urban design over the last century are too great not to question. The solutions being offered todayÑsustainability, walkability, smart and green technologiesÑhint at what has been lost and what may be regained, but they remain piecemeal and superficial. In The Art of Classic Planning, architect and planner Nir Haim Buras documents and extends the time-tested and holistic practices that held sway before the reign of Modernism. With hundreds of full-color illustrations and photographs that will captivate architects, planners, administrators, and developers, The Art of Classic Planning restores and revitalizes the foundations of urban planning. Inspired by venerable cities like Kyoto, Vienna, and Venice, and by the great successes of LÕEnfantÕs Washington, HaussmannÕs Paris, and BurnhamÕs Chicago, Buras combines theory and a host of examples to arrive at clear guidelines for best practices in classic planning for todayÕs world. The Art of Classic Planning celebrates the enduring principles of urban design and invites us to return to building beautiful cities."

Book excerpt: Manual for Urban Design Urban design is based on planning and design principles that need to meet functional demands on the one hand, but on the other hand bring the design elements together into a distinctive whole. The basic compositional principles are, for the most part, timeless. Designing Cities examines the most important design and presentation principles of urban design, using historical examples and contemporary international competition entries designed by practices including Foster + Partners, KCAP Architects & Planners, MVRDV, and OMA. At the core of the publication is the question of how the projects were designed and what methods and tools were available to the designer: such as parametric design, in which variable parameters automatically influence the design and provide a range of possible solutions. Tools for urban design Current projects and award-winning competition entries by renowned international practices A textbook for students and a practical design aid for practicing architects and planners

Book excerpt: The classic work on the evaluation of city form. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Ideals in the Planning of Cities, Towns and Villages: Town and City Planner This book on New Ideals in the Planning of Cities, Towns and Villages was prepared and set in type as one of a series for the Overseas Army, A. E. F., by the Department of Citizenship, Army Educational Commission. Before it was actually printed, word was received from France to send over no more materials, because the men in the overseas service were being so rapidly returned to their homes. The purpose of the book, however, remains; viz., "to present fundamental principles, and stimulate intelligent study of the problems of citizenship." Under these circumstances, it seemed desirable to complete its publication at once, and arrange for its circulation. The American City Bureau has responded to this call, and agreed to cooperate in a program looking toward the fulfillment, so far as possible, of the original purpose of the handbook. In taking this action, the American City Bureau is giving one more expression to its wide and sound interest in everything that affects vitally the welfare of cities, towns and villages. All the illustrations in this volume arc taken, through the courtesy of the National Municipal League and D. Appleton & Company, from the following copyrighted books: Satellite Cities, by Graham R. Taylor; City planning, edited by John Nolen; and Town Planning for Small Communities, by Charles S.
