This book calls attention to the public space of cities. It
proposes that the environmental performance of public space is
underdeveloped and is primed to play a more integrated role in
combatting the urgency of climate change, while also creating a
more meaningful experience of the city. The approach is influenced
by recent insights from neuroscience that are generating a growing
body of evidence for the underlying bodily basis of mind and
meaning imply a reformulation of urban design theory. Minding the
City is an effort to refocus the subject of urban design on the
tangible and visceral experience of public space, to remind urban
designers that our concept of the city is grounded in bodily
experience. It discusses emerging insights from neuroscience and
their potential impact on urban design in detail, not as a formula
for design, but to bring awareness, a new sensibility to the design
process. It uses a set of case studies to illustrate how the
insights from neuroscience are operative in how we experience and
value the built environment. It finishes with an exploration of the
sensory and aesthetic potential of sustainable systems and then
illustrates, through a series of urban design studies, how they
might be used to create better environmental performance while
creating more meaningful, even poetic urban spaces.
