Summary
"Making Cities Work showcases 28 initiatives from around the world that have enhanced the quality of urban life. The projects are presented in three sections, each tackling a different area of the urban design challenge. The first, 'Arriving in the City', profiles some of the world's most successful gateways and transport interchanges. Cities are, by their very nature, not just places where people live, but destinations that many more visit for a brief period, and first impressions count. The second section, 'Enjoying the City', highlights the ingenious approaches that can be taken to parks, shopping malls and public spaces, demonstrating that it is a large number of small-scale amenities that make a city fun. Finally, 'Getting Around the City' addresses what is the biggest challenge for most urban leaders - how to move people around in safety, comfort and speed. This is the area where political trade-offs are at their most acute - the pedestrian versus the car, pollution versus speed of travel, buildings versus roads."--Jacket.
