A needed guide for urbanistsBy Ben SchiendelmanThe urban fabric we inhabit is shaped by a wide range of policy and history that we often fail to consider when legislating new urban form. Most of the answers we seek in building cities with great community and vibrant places exist somewhere else already. Rather than suggest direct policy goals; Wolfe rightly prescribes observation first: we should work to understand the ways successful urban environments evolved and how they work today; and through the use of urban diaries; collect examples; then determine how they can be adapted to local contexts. Urbanism Without Effort is a needed guide for urbanists to base their policy goals on working examples; so that attractive; safe; great urban places can occur naturally.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Consider the ContextBy Sean A. BeneshThe beauty of this book is that it addresses the context and how cities developed more naturally or organically. Often times in our approach to cities we fail to consider their past and the causes; forces; and micro-evolutions that led to what we have today. Urbanism Without Effort is a helpful book for city lovers and city dwellers to pause and consider not only how their own cities developed but what this means for their future trajectory.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Urbanism at its CoreBy Robert H. VoelkerUrbanism Without Effort is a must read for anyone interested in how our built environment affects our lives and how certain places resonate. Charles Wolfes writing about cities and what makes them special is at times poetic; and although the book lacks (and in fact avoids) any prescriptive solutions to city design; you come away motivated to find; experience and document great places and seek out and apply effortless urbanism to your own city!!!
