Les Roberts
- pp 68-84
TLDR
A frame for cultural mappings, film is modern cartography as discussed by the authors, and does the flâneur do anything different from the map of Paris? But it is difficult to make a movie from a map of the city.Abstract:
Couldn’t an exciting film be made from the map of Paris? From the unfolding of its various aspects in temporal succession? From the compression of a centuries-long movement of streets, boulevards, arcades, and squares into the space of half an hour? And does the flâneur do anything different? (Benjamin 1999: 83)
A frame for cultural mappings, film is modern cartography. (Bruno 2002: 71)read more

Image of the city
Abstract: What does the city's form actually mean to the people who live there? What can the city planner do to make the city's image more vivid and memorable to the city dweller? To answer these questions, Mr. Lynch, supported by studies of Los Angeles, Boston, and Jersey City, formulates a new criterion -- imageability -- and shows its potential value as a guide for the building and rebuilding of cities. The wide scope of this study leads to an original and vital method for the evaluation of city form. The architect, the planner, and certainly the city dweller will all want to read this book.
