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. 606 $aCities and towns 606 $aCity and town life 606 $aCity planning 606 $aSociology, Urban 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCities and towns. 615 0$aCity and town life. 615 0$aCity planning. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 676 $a307.7/6 686 $aMS 1750$2rvk 700 $aWhyte$b William Hollingsworth$0234573 701 $aUnderhill$b Paco$0594573 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452686403321 996 $aCity$92477780 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04278nam 22006615 450 001 9910484251703321 005 20251113180119.0 010 $a3-030-64610-6 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-64610-3 035 $a(CKB)5410000000054443 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6416133 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-64610-3 035 $a(PPN)252507851 035 $a(EXLCZ)995410000000054443 100 $a20201129d2021 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$a8th European Medical and Biological Engineering Conference $eProceedings of the EMBEC 2020, November 29 ?
