| Formatted contents note | CONTENTS<br/>CITY COMFORTS CONTENTS<br/>How TO BUILD AN URBAN VILLAGE 7<br/>Why the urban village is appealing and its three key architectural patterns.<br/>SOME OVER-RIDING PRINCIPLES 15<br/>Some approaches to the urban environment, software, philosophies and methods.<br/>BUMPING INTO PEOPLE 24<br/>The city is a place to bump-into, to 'mix and meet.' Four general principles and some specific examples.<br/>KNOWING WHERE You ARE 44<br/>Our modern cities are vast and confusing. But there are ways to make the world more comprehensible.<br/>CHILDREN IN THE CITY 64<br/>Children are an indicator species of urban health.<br/>FEELING SAFE 70<br/>The design of buildings and streetscapes alone does not make cities safer. But some basic principles—natural surveillance and territoriality-—can make a difference.<br/>LITTLE NECESSITIES 78<br/>Little personal comforts make life, well, more comfortable.<br/>SMOOTHING EDGES: BUFFERS & SHIELDS 86<br/>Sharp change is unsettling. Certain uses conflict with others. There are ways to make them more harmonious.<br/>FITTING IN 100<br/>New buildings are often more unpopular than need be because they do not follow simple rules of being a good neighbor.<br/>WASTE NOT,WANT NOT:<br/>OLD SHOES ARE MORE COMFORTABLE 112<br/>Weaving the old and the new together is good business and good sense. There are several ways we do so—discovered spaces, habitat restoration, and recycling as three examples.<br/>GETTING AROUND 125.<br/>Motion is a delight and a virtue of our era is how many people can enjoy it. 'Traffic calming, bicycles-as-transport and universal accessibility keep a city moving ahead.<br/>PERSONALIZING THE CITY WITH ART:<br/>"KILROY WAS HERE" 156<br/>Public art is important in helping to create places and breaking down the walls of personal isolation.<br/>SOME FINAL THOUGHTS 166<br/>How this book came to be. What is the common denominator, if any?<br/>How TO LEARN MORE 169<br/>Some approaches to increasing our understanding of the physical environment.<br/>WHAT THIS BOOK IS NOT ABOUT 171<br/>Expensive design, high density, heavy rail and government projects are not the prerequisite for comfortable cities.<br/> |
