Making People-Friendly Towns explores the way our towns and cities; particularly their central areas; look and feel to all their users and discusses their design; maintenance and management. Francis Tibbalds provides a new philosophical approach to the problem; suggesting that places as a whole matter much more than the individual components that make up the urban environment such as buildings; roads and parks. This informative book suggests the way forward for professionals; decision-makers and all those who care about the future of our urban environment and points the reader in the direction of a wealth of living examples of successful town planning.

Very few illustrations at all; but none that showed how to achieve a finished product. Unfortunately; too many "how to" art books are like this. Art is a VISUAL medium; not a literary one. It doesnt do me any good to look at a finished picture and read about it; I need to SEE how the artist got from point A to point B.Now; this might be a good book for an experienced artist; but the "sell" of this book is in the category of "how to." In that respect; I found it to be worthless.There are too many other good books out there; skip this one if youre a beginner.
