В XXI веке города меняются все быстрее. Рост населения и новые запросы требуют введения иных стандартов жизни. Неэффективная урбанистика создает проблемы всем горожанам. Из-за этого страдает экономика, качество жизни, эффективность труда. Дизайн городских пространств, учитывающий интересы городских жителей, становится важнейшим элементом проектирования городов. Современному человеку уже недостаточно улиц с магазинами, ему нужны парки, игровые площадки и общественные зоны. Улицы же должны отвечать изменяющимся требованиям. Они должны быть не только коридорами для дорожного движения, но и пространством для всех.
Эта книга о новейших тенденциях в урбанистике. О том, как можно сделать улицы удобными и безопасными для жизни, где автомобилист, велосипедист и пешеход будут чувствовать себя комфортно. Основной принцип новых трендов современного проектирования городов - идея о том, что городские улицы являются общественным пространством и представляют собой несколько больше, чем просто место для движения транспорта.

Though we may take them for granted, doorways impinge on our lives in many ways. Their powers are even richer and more varied than those of the wall. They can change the ways we behave, and alter how we see our surroundings. They challenge us and protect our territories. They punctuate our experiences as we move from place to place. They set the geometry and measure of our relationship with space. They frame the in-between and stand as crystalisations of the moment. With its many dimensions, the doorway is an essential component of what might be called the common language of architecture. Illustrated with numerous drawings and photographs, Doorway is a stimulus to thinking about what can be done with architecture.

I want to say a big thank you to you fo picking our book. Over the past few years we've purchased our first homes and decorated them from the smallest corners to the biggest spaces. Before we started working an our homes, our hobby, A lovely mess, was mostly small crafts (think pillows and hair clips). İf you had told us that someday we'd be building tables and making rugs and painting for fun on Friday nights, we would have laughed. Turns out, we got addicted. A few years later, our homes look and feel nothing like they did the day we got our keys. The look like us now. Weird? Maybe. Cool? We'd like to think so. Personal? For sure. Personality is the most important aspect of decorating for us. Who cares if your house is nice if your frends and family can't see you in every room?
