Redesigning Cities
Based on Jonathan Barnett's new book, this workshop discusses how design techniques
offer new solutions for public officials, who too often feel trapped into choosing
among unappealing alternatives, while copping with frustrated developers and angry
citizens. Barnett describes five essential principles of urban design, and shows
how good design creates and transforms neighborhoods, revitalizes older cities,
reshapes commercial strip development and transforms edge cities into real cities.
Learn about institutions and implementation devices that build good city design
into everyday development.
