Description
The perceived failure of late Twentieth Century place-making led to a rethink among urban designers that today puts sustainability at the heart of contemporary policy. In The Plot, Tarbatt explains his practical plot-based urbanism solution to this problem.
Key chapters on designing and detailing the plot are organised by block type and offer critical design data, while the guidance is supported throughout by lively illustrations and numerous international case studies.
Aimed at masterplanners, architects and landscape architects as well as local authorities, town planners, urban geographers and developers, the book is a manual for making more sustainable places.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Reviewed as readable, succinct, informative, and well researched, this book starts with an overview of urban design principles and critiques past failures in creating diverse, successful towns and cities. Its key strength lies in offering a pragmatic toolkit that demystifies urban localism, making it essential reading for anyone involved in town planning or localism agendas.
