The Good Place Guide: Urban Design in Britain and Ireland

by John Billington, Richard Cole

What makes a space--be it a city neighborhood, park, square, beach, or market--comfortable for people to use and visit? Just look through these beautiful color photographs of 150 splendidly designed places and see. Each one has been created, or significantly altered, over the last 50 years. The Waterfront in Cardiff, Wales; the Barbican at Plymouth; Concert Square in these and many other places provide eye-opening examples of fine design and planning for anyone concerned with urban spaces--as well as those of us who must live in them.
