Town spaces

This softcover edition explores neotraditional town planning as a response to contemporary urban crises, emphasizing clear, organized spaces infused with public spirit, identification, and order. The book is divided into four parts, outlining guidelines for planning new cities, developing urban neighborhoods, restructuring city centers, and expanding existing areas. Drawing on firsthand experiences from the firm Krier Kohl, it details the journey from morphological conception through various phases of the town-planning design process to execution. A diverse range of architectural realizations by notable practitioners like Michael Graves, Cesar Pelli, and Kohn Pedersen Fox illustrates how neotraditional town planning can effectively collaborate with stylistically varied architectural concepts. The accompanying essays enhance the volume, providing additional insights. This well-designed and well-printed work serves as a comprehensive guide for those interested in creating urban environments that foster community and order.
