Viking Studio. Hardcover. 0670268615 Book Description "The major contemporary work on urban design . . . Splendidly presented, fi lled with thoughtful and brilliant intuitive insights." -The New Republic In a brilliant synthesis of words and pictures, Edmund N. Bacon relates his torical examples to modern principles of urban planning. He vividly demonst rates how the work of great architects and planners of the past can influen ce subsequent development and be continued by later generations. By illumin ating the historical background of urban design, Bacon also shows us the fu ndamental forces and considerations that determine the form of a great city . Perhaps the most significant of these are simultaneous movement systems-t he paths of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, public and private transporta tion-that serve as the dominant organizing force, and Bacon looks at moveme nt systems in cities such as London, Rome, and New York. He also stresses t he importance of designing open space as well as architectural mass and dis cusses the impact of space, color, and perspective on the city-dweller. Tha t the centers of cities should and can be pleasant places in which to live, work, and relax is illustrated by such examples as Rotterdam and Stockholm . --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Editorial Reviews Review "Edmund Bacon had greater impact on the planning and development of his hom etown [Philadelphia] than any individual except Robert Moses in New York an d Daniel Burnham in Chicago. Like Burnham, he had created a noble, logical diagram that had the power to stir the blood." -Alexander Garvin, The American City "Stunning illustrations . . . extraoridinarily l . Very Good.
