Reviews “Designing the City
is filled with pragmatic, detailed, true-life cases. They are drawn
directly from the experience of the author, who is one of this country’s
most successful advocates for a better public environment. It teaches
cooperation, not confrontation. It’s a book you can put to immediate
use for effective long-term change.” “There’s a desperate
need across the country to improve neighborhoods and communities. I’ve
witnessed what towns could do once they dropped those arguments against
good design. Designing the City is a comprehensive book that provides
the motivation, answers, and technical help for any town interested
in attracting investment through good design.” About the Author Adele Fleet Bacow is senior vice president of Policy and Management Associates, Inc., Boston, Massachusetts.
