Place Making
by Charles C. Bohl
from Urban Land Institute

Customer Reviews:

• Avg. Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0

• Excellent for Urban Planning!
  I was put on to this book by a professor at USF School of Architecture. It contains not only the history of placemaking but real examples of placemaking and tools in how to achieve the notion of "place." Not only is this a great resource, but it is easy to read and follow along.
  Highly reccomended!
  

• Power and ample information and graphics

The depth and breadth of place-making topics and their coverage makes this a very excellent easy-to-read-and-understand as well as a long-term reference tool. The graphics are very well done. Having recently attended a Harvard program on retail for cities and new towns and urban center given by Bob Gibbs and Terry Shook, I especially found the book right on target. I want to see more... more info
