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.read more

Place attachment: How far have we come in the last 40 years?
TL;DR: A review of several hundred empirical and theoretical papers and chapters reveals that despite mobility and globalization processes, place continues to be an object of strong attachments as discussed by the authors, and the main message of the three components of the tripartite model of place attachment (Scannell & Gifford, 2010a ), the Person component has attracted disproportionately more attention than the Place and Process components.
