Summary:
Urban planning means far more than the design of land, property, and housing complexes. The visions of town planners and their clients —whether they are technical, artistic, political, or social — communicate, more or less clearly, the universal pursuit of happiness. However, the planners’ notions of "happiness" and those of future users are not always the same : often(...)

Summary:
Urban planning means far more than the design of land, property, and housing complexes. The visions of town planners and their clients —whether they are technical, artistic, political, or social — communicate, more or less clearly, the universal pursuit of happiness. However, the planners’ notions of "happiness" and those of future users are not always the same : often enough, the way in which residents use their city represents a complete contrast to the planner’s original ideas. Taking twelve European examples — urban planning projects seen from the viewpoint of planners and users — this book sheds some light on both sides of the "pursuit of happiness" — in urban planning projects seen from the viewpoint of planners and users.

Summary:
A bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom - are these rooms all that make a home? Not at all, argues Emanuele Coccia. The buildings we inhabit are of immense psychological and cultural significance. They play a decisive role in human flourishing and, for hundreds of years, their walls and walkways, windows and doorways have guided our relationships with others and with ourselves. They reflect and reinforce social inequalities; they allow us to celebrate and cherish those we love. They are the places of return that allow us to venture out into the world. In this intimate, elegantly argued account, Coccia shows how the architecture of home has shaped, and continues to shape, our psyches and our societies, before then masterfully leading us towards a more creative, ecological way of dwelling in the world.
