## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Form and Movement in City Design
  

*by K***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 7, 2023*

Edmund Bacon provides a great analysis of form and movement in city design. He uses examples of Greek and Roman cities, Renaissance cities, old Europe cities, old Asian cities, modern cities in Asia and South America, and ultimately his own city, Philadelphia. His hypothesis hinges on Paul Klee's art and thinking with stunning explanations of Klee's sketches and art and how they relate to city design.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent Introduction to Urban Planning
  

*by R***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 30, 2016*

The book that opened my eyes to urban Design. The comparisons to Klee's worth are insightful, the visual demonstrations of movement through space have transformed my experience of cities, and the author is always engaging. The only problem is Bacon's mistaken ideas for cities of the future based on car travel. But no ones perfect. Does this masterpiece with A Pattern Language, by Christopher Alexander, et. al.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Could Be Better
  

*by M***U on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 27, 2010*

The book is detailed in description and does have nice sketches of examples, however, to understand the design of each city, one must study the simple sketch for a bit and relate back to the text back and forth. Although this may sound natural and may also make me come off as a person who just doesn't like to read, I feel the book could've provided better examples or diagrams. Sometimes a sketch of an urban plan and one colored arrow just doesn't cut it for everyone.
