Space, place, life

This is the first is a series of books drawing on the expertise of the Academy of Urbanism. This book examines the concepts that are core to the academy; the way that urban space is designed, the quality place created by the buildings that enclose this space and the life that animates it. Capitals, towns, neighbourhoods, streets, and urban places are explored by Chris Balch, David Rudlin, Brian Evans, David Taylor and Sarah Chaplin respectively. The book is a fascinating take on urban places and the force that animates them, written by some of the most experienced urban practitioners in the UK and illustrated beautifully with drawings by David (Harry) Harrison and poems by Ian MacMillan.
