With a group of young observers, camera and notebook in hand, he conducted pioneering studies of street life, pedestrian behavior, and city dynamics. City: Rediscovering the Center is the result of that research, a humane, often amusing view of what is staggeringly obvious about the urban environment but seemingly invisible to those responsible for planning it.Whyte uses time-lapse photography to chart the anatomy of metropolitan congestion. Why is traffic so badly distributed on city streets? Why do New Yorkers walk so fast-and jaywalk so incorrigibly? Why aren't there more collisions on the busiest walkways? Why do people who stop to talk gravitate to the center of the pedestrian traffic stream? Why do places designed primarily for security actually worsen it? Why are public restrooms disappearing? "The city is full of vexations," Whyte avers: "Steps too steep; doors too tough to open; ledges you cannot sit on. . . . It is difficult to design an urban space so maladroitly that people will not use it, but there are many such spaces." Yet Whyte finds encouragement in the widespread rediscovery of the city center. The future is not in the suburbs, he believes, but in that center. Like a Greek agora, the city must reassert its most ancient function as a place where people come together face-to-face.Cities and townsCity and town lifeCity planningSociology, UrbanElectronic books.Cities and towns.City and town life.City planning.Sociology, Urban.307.7/6MS 1750rvkWhyte William Hollingsworth234573Underhill Paco594573MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452686403321City2477780UNINA01496nam 2200517 a 450 991045647860332120200520144314.00-295-80049-6(CKB)2550000000036121(SSID)ssj0000644345(PQKBManifestationID)11446457(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000644345(PQKBWorkID)10675841(PQKB)10164169(MiAaPQ)EBC3444297(OCoLC)740449419(MdBmJHUP)muse7034(Au-PeEL)EBL3444297(CaPaEBR)ebr10468613(CaONFJC)MIL815356(EXLCZ)99255000000003612120050914d2006 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrScenic spots[electronic resource] Chinese tourism, the state, and cultural authority /Pál NyíriSeattle University of Washington Pressc2006xii, 134 p. ill"A China program book."0-295-98588-7 0-295-98761-8 Includes bibliographical references (p. 115-130) and index.TourismChinaElectronic books.Tourism338.4/79151Nyíri Pál900972MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456478603321Scenic spots2487166UNINA01461nam0 22003131i 450 UON0049600520231205105353.328978-88-953516-7-420190626d2012 |0itac50 baitaIT|||| |||||Recipe... : pratiche mediche, cosmetiche e culinarie attraverso i testi (secoli 14.-16.)a cura di Elisa Treccani e Michelangelo ZaccarelloCaselle di SommacampagnaCierre grafica2012219 p.21 cm.Dono Prof. Alberto Varvaro.IT-UONSI F.
