Increasing urbanization and increasing urban density put enormous
pressure on the relationships between people and place in cities.
Built environment professionals must pay attention to the impact of
people-place relationships in small- to large-scale urban
initiatives. A small playground in a neighborhood pocket park is an
example of a small-scale urban development; a national
environmental policy that influences energy sources is an example
of a large-scale initiative. All scales of decision-making have
implications for the people-place relationships present in cities.
This book presents new research in contemporary, interdisciplinary
urban challenges, and opportunities, and aims to keep the
people-place relationship debate in focus in the policies and
practices of built environment professionals and city managers.
Most urban planning and design decisions, even those on a small
scale, will remain in the urban built form for many decades,
conditioning people's experience of their city. It is important
that these decisions are made using the best available knowledge.
This book contains an interdisciplinary discussion of contemporary
urban movements and issues influencing the relationship between
people and place in urban environments around the world which have
major implications for both the processes and products of urban
planning, design, and management. The main purpose of the book is
to consolidate contemporary thinking among experts from a range of
disciplines including anthropology, environmental psychology,
cultural geography, urban design and planning, architecture and
landscape architecture, and the arts, on how to conceptualize and
promote healthy people and place relationships in the 21st-century
city. Within each of the chapters, the authors focus on their
specific areas of expertise which enable readers to understand key
issues for urban environments, urban populations, and the links
between them.
