Public Places Urban Spaces: The Dimensions of Urban Design

Lots of good info in here and I'm glad I bought it, however: there are so many typos it really feels unprofessional - not a good look.I think the price is a bit steep, especially when no discount is included for the digital version.

Conocí la segunda edición de este libro cuando lo presté en la biblioteca de la universidad y me pareció un magnifico libro con conocimiento invaluable, ahora que me llegó la tercera edición quedé fascinado, el contenido es casi el doble con respecto de la edición anterior y la lectura es muy fluida.Yo enseño diseño urbano en la universidad y este libro me está permitiendo replantear contenidos de mi clase con una visión mucho más actual y de vanguardia para entender el diseño urbano y las ciudades en donde vivimos. 100 de 100.

I was hesitant to buy the book initially due to cost compared to other urban design titles. However it was definitely worthwhile on amount of content alone. It’s over 600 large pages with colour images almost every page. More importantly the content covers a wide range of urban design considerations in a clear and structured way. The examples are international so it’s definitely suitable for a worldwide audience. As an urban planner interested in widening my design knowledge it’s very good. I would recommend to built environment students and practitioners.

A great book to get a comprehensive overview of the topic of urban design. Though the state of the book I received is very questionable. I’m pretty sure I ordered a new one, however, it looks like it was in use or was damaged while being delivered. This is very disappointing especially because of the quite high price one has to pay for it.
