 Реклама Litres.ru | Города для людей. Ян Гейл. Саммари Автор: Smart Reading Это саммари – сокращенная версия книги. Только самые ценные мысли, идеи, кейсы, примеры. Ян Гейл, архитектор с более чем 50-летним опытом, в этой книге напоминает о важной, но на много лет забытой истине. О том, что города строятся в первую очередь для людей, а не для машин, заводов и фабрик. Людям нужны живые, уютные и безопасные города. Только тогда в них будет эффективно работать промышленность и расти экономика. И, самое главное, вложения в заботу о людях на уровне города по сравнению с другими социальными расходами, такими как здравоохранение и автомобильная инфраструктура, так скромны, что их могут позволить себе даже развивающиеся города во всех уголках мира. Заинтересованность и фантазия самих горожан наряду с более масштабными проектами могут сделать безжизненный унылый город совершенно другим всего за несколько лет. В своей замечательной книге Ян Гейл рассказывает, как должны быть устроены города, чтобы люди в них могли не только работать, но и радоваться жизни. Серия: Smart Reading. Ценные идеи из лучших книг.
