Urban and landscape perspectives ; v. 15

"Time has become an ever more important topic in urban studies and urban planning. The spatial temporal interplay is not only of relevance for the theory of urban development and urban politics, but also for urban planning in governance. The space-time approach focuses on the human being with its various habits and routines in the city. Understanding them and considering them in urban planning and public policies offers a new way to improve the quality of life in our cities. Adapting the supply and accessibility of public spaces and services to the inhabitants' space-time needs requires an integrated approach to the physical design of urban space and to the organization of the city. In the last two decades the practical and theoretical work on urban space-time topics has grown substantially. The book gives a state of the art overview of the theoretical reasoning, the development of new analytical tools, and practical experience of the space-time design of the public city in major European countries. The contributions are written by academics and practitioners in various fields of space-time research and planning."--Publisher description.
