How do you create inviting and authentic urban spaces where people feel at home? In Urbanism Without Effort, Chuck Wolfe argues that "unplanned" places can often teach us more about great placemaking than planned ones. 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.
A whirlwind global tour, Urbanism Without Effort offers readers inspiration, historical context, and a better understanding of how an inviting urban environment is created.
