New in paperback, this visually rich book by Alexandros Washburn, former Chief Urban Designer of the New York Department of City Planning, redefines urban design. The Nature of Urban Design empowers urbanites and lays the foundation for a new approach to design that will help cities to prosper in an uncertain future. Washburn asks his readers to consider how cities shape communities, for it is the strength of our communities that will determine how we respond to crises like Hurricane Sandy. Washburn draws heavily on his experience within the New York City planning system while highlighting forward-thinking developments in cities around the world. By discussing projects like the High Line and the Harlem Children's Zone as well as examples from Seoul to Singapore, he explores the nuances of the urban design process while emphasizing the importance of individuals with the drive to make a difference in their city. Throughout the book, Washburn shows how a well-designed city can be the most efficient, equitable, safe, and enriching place on earth. The Nature of Urban Design provides a framework for participating in the process of change and will inspire and inform anyone who cares about cities.
