Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A classic since its publication in 1961, this book is the defintive statement on American cities: what makes them safe, how they function, and why all too many official attempts at saving them have failed.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great read
I bought this book as a required reading for school. It was very easy to read and covered many interesting topics. I would recommend this book to anyone that is interested in learning more about the urban environment.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The triumph of common sense
In an age when architects and planners were spouting all kinds of brave-new-world nonsense (or mindlessly absorbing it, or even worse - building it), Jacobs burst onto the scene with an incredible dose of sanity mixed with common sense and wisdom, carefully observing the urban environment and drawing a host of remarkably sensible conclusions. For some reason we architects seem always at risk of believing our own nuttiest fantasies. Jacobs is a perennial corrective.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Read it!
Still relevant, still useful....and still ignored by the common city engineer. Our city's planners need to re-read this sucker.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Read it
This is a book that relates to designers, and city planners as well as the "un-educated". Reading this book will certainly inform one on the purpose and importance of city planning.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It'll make a city slicker out of the most ardent farm boy
This book will give you a reason to want to go visit the city, or to go out and get into the city you already live in. Her reference to the "ballet of the sidewalks" gives a whole new twist to what is going on in a busy downtown. City planners, take note!
