Opis

The IAPS (International Association for People Environment Studies) 13th Conference (1994), at which the papers published here were presented, attracted policy makers, researchers, teachers and students concerned with the effects of living in cities and on people's response to the city environment.

Recenzje

'What a marathon for the editors at the Urban Renewal Research Unit at Manchester! To achieve the publication of such an extensive volume in the same year as the conference whose proceedings it reports is indeed impressive ... More of this kind of literature ... would help to enhance the societal aspects of planning immensely.' - AESOP News
