Redesigning the Unremarkable is a timely and necessary reminder
that the often neglected elements and spaces of our built
environment - from trash bins, seats, stairways, and fences to
streets, bikeways, underpasses, parking lots, and shopping centers
- must be thoughtfully redesigned to enhance human and planetary
health. Using the lens of sustainable, salutogenic, and playable
design, in this inspiring book, Miller and Cushing explore the
challenges, opportunities, and importance of redesigning the
unremarkable. Drawing on global research, theory, practical case
studies, photographs, and personal experiences, Redesigning the
Unremarkable is a vital text - a doer's guide - for researchers,
policymakers and practitioners wanting to transform and positively
reimagine our urban environment.

This book provides a bold vision and roadmap for creating great
places. Imagining and designing urban environments where all people
thrive is an extraordinary task, and in this compelling narrative,
Cushing and Miller remind us that theory is a powerful starting
point. Drawing on international research, illustrated case studies,
personal experiences, as well as fascinating examples from history
and pop culture, this practical book provides the reader with
inspiration, guidance and tools. The first section outlines six
critical theories for contemporary urban design - affordance,
prospect-refuge, personal space, sense of place/genius loci, place
attachment, and biophilic design. The second section, using their
innovative 'theory-storming' process, demonstrates how designers
can create great places that are inclusive, sustainable, and
salutogenic. Creating Great Places is an insightful, compelling,
and evidence-based resource for readers who want to design urban
environments that inspire, excite, and positively transform
people's lives.
