Reconnecting with First Principles of the City
Island Press
How do you create inviting and authentic urban spaces where people feel at home?

He highlights “first principles” of what makes humans feel happy and safe, drawing lessons from an impromptu movie nights in a Seattle alley to the adapted reuse of Diocletian’s Palace in Split, Croatia.
