It is a welcome and long overdue challenge to the dominant paradigm of contemporary urban planning, zoning and design. Drawing on the insights of three experienced professionals in architecture, urban design and planning, Haden, Holland and Irvine convincingly challenge the belief that generic nice urban form, designed with no one particular in mind, will create vital places. With often witty and tongue in cheek critique, the authors question our reliance on expensive architecture and ever-present predatory retail as the only ways to enliven cities.
