Didžiųjų Amerikos miestų mirtis ir gyvenimas (book)

Author: Jane Jacobs

Can residents understand more about urban planning than professional urban planners? This bold question is asked in Jane Jacobs's revolutionary and classic book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities.

The author, while criticizing traditional theories of urbanism, looks at the city as a living organism and believes that in the processes taking place here, the voice must be given to the residents - the real masters of their city, district, street. This book, published almost 60 years ago, remains one of the most important works on urban planning: a sharp, polemical, but never losing its optimistic tone, the text explores the problems we still face today and presents the still relevant aspects of a socially and economically vibrant city.
