Time and Place -- Timeplace -- is a continuum of the mind, as fundamental as the spacetime that may be the ultimate reality of the material world.Kevin Lynch's book deals with this human sense of time, a biological rhythm that may follow a different beat from that dictated by external, "official," "objective" timepieces. The center of his interest is on how this innate sense affects the ways we view and change -- or conserve, or destroy -- our physical environment, especially in the cities.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating look at the urban environment's role in our perception of time,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: What Time is This Place? (Paperback)
This (unique?) book looks into how humans perceive time, how our environment (especially cities) influences that perception, and how that environment can be modified to provide a better sense of time and place. Examples from around the world are used to illustrate Lynch's many thought-provoking ideas.
Although this is an academic text, it is very readable (even fun to read,) and mostly easily understood.
