Editorial Reviews

Review
"This is a major work... provocative, influential reading..."
-- Journal of the American Planning Association

Product Description
With the publication of The Image of the City in 1959, Kevin Lynch embarked upon the process of exploring city form. Good City Form is both a summation and an extension of his vision, a high point from which he views cities past and possible.

First published in hardcover under the title A Theory of Good City Form
