Türkiye İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları Kent Imgesi / Kevin Lynch / / 9789944889483

Product description

This small and readable book is one of the most important modern contributions to the theory of large-scale design. David a. crane, journal of the american institute of planners: often, living in a city is forgotten to be living in an image. The streets, boulevards, coastal strips, historical buildings, magnificent bridges, and shopping centers of that city always seem to reinforce an impression. Moreover, the perception of a city varies from person to person as well as over time. The only thing we can probably advance is the questions that come to mind: what exactly does the structure of a city mean when a vibrant life exists within it? What sensitivity is the image we have acquired for the city we live in? Is it possible to lose two kerbs in one place? Is it possible to mention a kent history that accompanies our personal history? Kevin lynch, in his book "the image of the city," which changed the face of urban planning and remains a key resource in the field, explores these profound questions, focusing on three major american cities: los angeles, boston, and jersey city.

From the nuances of how urban planners reshape people's perception of the city to the insights gleaned from street interviews, this book is packed with details that prove the relationship between a city and its people is far from simple.

because although we don't actually notice while living in it, it is possible to say that neither the city itself nor the image we have is static.

if you still don't have an image of the city you live in your mind, the city image will guide you.

kevin lynch (1918–1984) was a highly regarded urban planner, academic, and author. Beyond lynch's iconic image of the kent, which resonated worldwide after his many years of teaching at mit, some of his other significant works include: what time is this place? (1972)

yönetimi bir bölge duygusu (1976)

a theory of good city from (1981).
